Mauro Libi Crestani: Corporate sustainability is a task for all

The current trend is that more and more workers and professionals prefer to join companies with social and environmental commitment. They are more satisfied.
 In fact , 50 percent of employees  responded on a survey that stated that if they had the opportunity, would have opted for one of these companies' "green".

Working in such companies apparently encourages workers with this new vision.
Sustainable organizations would be those in which both employees and the organization are committed to environmental defense and environmental  responsibility.

But the key is to define what is meant by sustainability, it is important to know why and how you can collaborate on the issue with concrete initiatives.

As a way can be the formation of an environmental committee to open channels for workers to effectively join the substantive company efforts aimed at sustainability.
And the question goes beyond the simple desire to boost "green" in their daily lives and at home, but to understand how the company for which they work can join the fight in terms of eco-efficiency. a guide is required in this regard that paute how employees can participate beyond statements to collaborate with the commitment to establish a corporate sustainability strategy.

Also establish a rewards program in which the company is committed to sustainability requires management infrastructure, which results in the set and define a clear business vision, goals and objectives.

We must not forget that this is business, so alongside the objective of achieving sustainability is that of achieving profitability.

 The goal of sustainability must have the firm and decisive senior management for decision-making that strung the issue and allocation of resources to achieve support. The rewards program would be aimed at recognizing the efforts and strengthen the commitment to join with initiatives aimed at the twin objectives of sustainability and profitability.

It is required to publicize what the expectations are and how progress will be measured, so you have to define the roles and responsibilities, education and training in sustainability to clarify the technical and business skills.

 Similarly there are set the way the company will measure progress in meeting the goals, innovation and project management.

Thus, it is imperative that workers are involved in the planning and implementation of policies and sustainability projects.

Forming functional teams for training and support; as well as improvement and review of environmental and social issues that are aimed at developing best practices; encourage workers to commit to sustainability and reward effective efforts to reach it.

The purpose and goals of sustainability of a company are useless if not supported and unrestricted commitment of workers. Without them, half the battle is lost.
