One of the trends making an impact in the modern business world is the growing importance of corporate responsibility, especially in matters of sustainability.
With a now almost continuous discussion on waste taking place in Jakarta and Bali and an outbreak of war against single-use-plastic there is increased public awareness of the issues and the initiatives being made to overcome the problems. Now, more consumers are telling companies that they want to buy sustainable products from businesses that take a stand for the environment. But are businesses responding , and do they actually know what to do ?
With consumers becoming more aware of sustainable brands, companies should be actively looking into making their businesses more environmentally friendly, however not many companies know and understand how to be sustainable and how to do it the right way.
