A key factor that most organisations in today's society strive to achieve. But why is it so important? Why should you care? And why should you be working with suppliers that are certified to British standards for sustainability? The concept of sustainability is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. For a long time, environmental impact had been the main focus for many organisations craving a sustainability philosophy. At its core, it's an approach to balancing different, and quite often competing, needs against the awareness of the environmental, social and economic limitations businesses face.Put more simply, it's about managing People, Planet and Profit - otherwise known as the triple bottom line. The principles of sustainability have long been a focus for us at Stone Group and we continually monitor our business strategy to ensure we incorporate key issues that are raised by our staff, investors and customers.
