Environmental Sustainability
Why is environmental sustainability so important?
The top five global long-term business risks relate to environmental issues (World Economic Forum Global Risks Report, 2025).
Today, issues such as climate change, nature and biodiversity, pollution and sustainable development can present material financial risks and are key topics that funders, employees, our communities and consumers focus on and ask questions about. If you are part of others’ supply chains then there’s a good chance you will be under scrutiny in the not too distant future.
Environmental sustainability matters can present risks and opportunities to company reputation, brand, employee attraction and retention and long term business success. We are, after all, dependent on our environment and it’s wellbeing is central to a thriving and sustainable economy.

“SBC helped us redevelop our environmental sustainability strategy. Suzanne’s approach was highly consultative, educational and practical, and produced excellent results. The new strategy has transformed how we see environment as not just a compliance task but as a key driver of efficiency and an opportunity to engage our staff and guests. Suzanne is highly experienced and a pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”
