In today's article, Founder & CEO of Plan A and Co-founder of Greentech Alliance Lubomila Jordanova writes that in today’s business world, sustainability is an imperative ♻️ 🗣️ Not only because of the mounting ESG regulations and growing pressure from investors. But especially due to consumer demand. Consumers that also happen to be today’s and future workforce. It is fair to say that there is a powerful connection between climate-conscious business conduct and future profitability. Companies regardless of their size are well advised to deeply embed sustainable practices into their strategies to future-proof their businesses. Often easier said than done. But especially startups benefit from two decisive factors in this regard: Firstly, they are only at the very beginning of their trajectory, allowing them to closely integrate sustainable practices into their DNA right from the start. Secondly, flat hierarchies ensure that management and team are closer and that there are shorter decision-making processes. https://lnkd.in/dTqqrBfv
