Can environmentally sustainable practices lead to cost savings for businesses?

Yes. Sustainability requires a holistic approach, from evaluating your own operations to assessing practices within your value chain. By eliminating inefficient practices contributing to your business’ carbon footprint, you can save significant costs. Areas that often involve inefficient practices include energy consumption, waste disposal, product packaging, and transportation. Sustainable practices also tend to be more cost effective in the long run, as they are better adapted to changing consumer and regulatory goals.
