Running a sustainable business

Business sustainability represents resilience over time and robust businesses are intimately connected to healthy economic, social and environmental systems. These businesses create economic value and contribute to vibrant ecosystems and strong communities.

A comprehensive sustainability strategy is vital for all businesses

Businesses are under increasing pressure to ensure they drive meaningful change. They can no longer afford to delay – sustainability has reached critical mass. With global pandemics and world summits increasingly monitoring issues of resource scarcity and high-risk environmental factors, business needs to act now.

Ethical business

An additional element that businesses have to consider is the increasing power of the consumer and how sustainable business practices are becoming a deciding factor for them. Business ethics need to be transparent and open. Businesses now have a triple bottom line: profit, people and planet. A company that fully accounts for financial, social and environmental factors truly understands what is means to do business.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do at Mazars – from working closely with the UN, to developing a full suite of services aimed at reengineering trust in businesses, empowering people and nurturing collective responsibility. We take pride in helping our clients build sustainable businesses and develop strong business ethics and corporate social responsibility strategy programmes.
