Sustainability: Benefit or Burden
Sustainability: Is it a Benefit or Burden? Too often the answer isn’t clear, especially inside businesses. Sure, people will pay lip service to the value, but too often remain skeptical.
Sustainability practitioners need to align social, business and environmental value, and make sure that the internal value proposition is well executed and effectively communicated.

The Importance of Social Responsibility within the FreeZone Ecosystem
Successful free zones of the future must do more than simply facilitate trade, economic growth, GDP performance and shareholder value. They must embrace sustainability and extend their benefit footprint to more directly include broader swaths of society.
Failure to integrate social value and sustainability into the business model will begin to erode and undermine the ability of free zones to continue driving GDP growth and business value.
Investors want to hear from companies about the value of sustainability
Investors want companies to sharpen their equity story and clarify the value of their sustainability initiatives.
While more than 95 percent of S&P 500 companies issue a sustainability report, very few fully integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) into their equity stories.
The lack of a clear link between sustainability and strategy can make it difficult for investors to understand how a company’s efforts affect financial performance and, crucially, intrinsic value.
I hope you have found these snippets interesting and provocative. Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it shouldn’t be.
It is all about value, aligning and integrating value for business, society and the environment.
