Research shows that sustainability is a mother lode of organizational and technological innovations that yield both bottom-line and top-line returns.

Becoming environment-friendly lowers costs because companies end up reducing the inputs they use. In addition, the process generates additional revenues from better products or enables companies to create new businesses. In fact, because those are the goals of corporate innovation, smart companies now treat sustainability as innovation’s new frontier. And the key to such progress and quality is using employee suggestions to eliminate waste. This means scrap, in the traditional meaning of waste, but it also includes "processes." Waste includes what an organisation doesn't do right the first time -- a misdirected shipment, an incorrect invoice, a defective product.

Consideration helps enable enterprises to embed the principles and practices of sustainability into their business models, cultures and daily operations so that they will;

• Enhance profitability

• Reduce costs and risks

• Increase energy efficiency and productivity

• Build brand integrity

• Reduce carbon footprint to meet the tightening regulation over climate change

• Engage employees, families, and all stakeholders in more sustainable practices
