Introduction

As the reduction of the Earth’s natural resources continues, organizations will face increased risk and cost; as access to a primary business need becomes constrained, impacting both  profitability and competitive advantage. Many organizations have already embarked on environmental programmes  to demonstrate their commitment to climate change and to meet the growing raft of environmental regulations.

To mitigate such vulnerabilities, organizations need to ensure they have a sustainable operating model that takes into account the risks associated with future supply issues surrounding the world’s natural resources both at a local and global level, so they can prevent business disruption at individual sites.

As the link between the environment and competitive advantage is becoming more widely recognized, the concept of environmental sustainability and competitiveness needs to be embedded in every area of business operations — from its supply chain and sales operation to facilities management and the IT infrastructure — to deliver maximum results. Hence, an increased profit and edge in the competitive business world.
