Sustainability Equals Financial Viability

In today's economic environment, organizations are faced with many challenges across multiple dimensions of their business. While adopting a strategy for sustainability is one such challenge, the process also presents a genuine opportunity for competitive advantage and Sustainable Financial Performance. This is achievable once an organization realizes that "Sustainability" must be the derivative result of a "bottom-line" driven initiative.

"Sustainability" has been defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. Today's forward-thinking organizations recognize the need to balance the "4 Pillars of Sustainability" with the economic reality of bottom-line driven decisions.

These 4 Pillars represent the contexts in which organizations operate – and with knowledge they can tell, on an ongoing and predictable basis, how these factors will impact their economic and natural resources, and those of the future.

Investments in renewable energy, commitments to operational changes and decisions to pursue new strategic business initiatives are made based on having access to quality information and tools to understand the real impacts of those changes. Knowledge, based on access to real and current information, is key to successful risk management and to maximizing the change opportunities.

By implementing a Sustainable Financial Performance Solution, organizations possess the required knowledge to make strategic capital investment decisions and, more importantly perhaps, they have a roadmap for the ongoing sustainability of their Built Environment through improved bottom-line performance.
