The benefits of sustainable development for companies of all sizes

Sustainable development has been one of the main drivers of economic growth for several years.

Companies have realized the benefits of sustainability, including cost savings, job creation and improved brand image.

Sustainable development is a holistic approach to ensuring long-term economic, social and environmental viability.

Long considered a luxury reserved for large groups, sustainable development, CSR and ESG issues are gaining ground in all companies worldwide.

The COVID pandemic had negative impacts on sustainability, as the impact of the virus on the company had to be managed urgently.

In addition, some industries have been forced to resort to unsustainable practices, such as increased product deliveries or the use of plastic packaging.

It has also had positive impacts, specifically in terms of reducing Greenhouse Gases, due to the reduction of business travel and transportation, because of telecommuting.

This health crisis was also an opportunity for many people and organizations to place sustainable development at the heart of their daily concerns.

Indeed, the change in behavior induced by this crisis has led to a greater awareness of the fragility of the planet and the numerous climate disturbances.

It is becoming urgent to act at all levels, especially at the corporate level.

Moreover, a CSR project induces profitability, in avoided costs, productivity gains, and even in direct revenues, through reductions in waste, recycling, reuse, compensation… And salary motivation.

The launch of CSR policies is now largely facilitated, thanks in particular to the excellent online courses offered by Bpifrance University and the Institut du Numérique Responsable.

Many consultants can also assist you in these matters.

In conclusion, sustainable development has many advantages for companies of all sizes. SIRFULL is committed to a policy of authentic and sustainable corporate social responsibility, and to a Responsible Digital Labeling.
