What is Sustainable Responsibility?

Sustainability is responsibility for the impact that the organisation exerts on its surroundings, in business, environmental and social terms. Conscious management of the impact translates into lower costs, improved external relations and better-managed risks.

Orderly’s technologies promote responsibility not just for profitability for your food and beverage organisation, but for sustainability too.

This is not to be confused with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) where a business will look backwards to see its environmental impact and then make a contribution to society.

Sustainable responsibility is looking at ways in which your business can impact the environment positively. Making conscious decisions to work this way in every aspect of your business will make people sit up and look at your business. From potential employees to clients and local authorities.

Whether you are looking at how environmentally friendly your packaging is to choosing suppliers based on how much they contribute to greenhouse gases in their production process — there are many ways you can tweak your business model to make it sustainably responsible.

Now making these decisions may not always be one of the cheapest options but being aware of your businesses environmental impact and indeed creating products that can improve existing methods is where conscious employers are winning right now.
