Vision and goals
Sustainability is a concept that is closely linked to ethics. Like a beacon, it guides the decisions and actions of companies, helping them create a more just and inclusive future for all.
Sustainability must be understood beyond the simple protection of the environment, where the needs of people and the Planet are fundamental and profit is the result of their harmonious coexistence. The sustainable companies that I select for ZiaCris are those that manage to combine these three aspects, creating a lasting value over time.
Sustainability is a way of living and working that allows us to meet our needs without compromising the ability to meet those of future generations.
I think it's a bit like cultivating a garden: if I harvest all the fruit without planting new ones, the garden will soon be empty. But if I plant new seeds and take care of the garden, in this way it will continue to bear fruit over time.
Sustainable companies are those that seek to reduce their negative impact on the environment and society, while at the same time creating positive value for all stakeholders, through:
respect for the environment |
|
social justice |
|
economic profitability |
using fewer natural resources, reducing polluting emissions by preferring renewable energy and managing waste responsibly, recycling materials and reducing the production of packaging |
taking care of employees, offering them safe and decent working conditions, fair wages and growth opportunities. But not only that, it also consists in trying to have a positive impact on the communities in which companies operate, supporting social and cultural projects |
|
not by giving up profits, but by finding ways to create economic value in the long term, for example, by investing in innovative and sustainable projects, in quality products and services and in building long-lasting relationships with their customers and suppliers |
Sustainability is therefore important because:
Protects our Planet |
|
Improves the quality of life |
|
Makes companies more competitive |
By reducing pollution and waste of resources, we can help preserve our beloved place for future generations. |
Living in a cleaner and healthier environment and in a more equal society, as well as having a decent job, contribute to improving the quality of life not only for ourselves but for everyone |
|
Today, sustainable companies are often also the most innovative, ready for change and resilient , able to better satisfy customers who share their values |
For this reason, with the ZiaCris DispensAttiva project, I decided to select companies that have chosen to engage in projects of:
environmental sustainability
to improve soil functionality and ecosystem quality, reduce pollutant emissions and waste production, increase the use of renewable energy sources and promote recycling
social sustainability
in order to guarantee decent working conditions for their employees, respect human rights, support local communities and contribute to social development, especially through inclusive policies
economic sustainability
to create long-term value, ensuring the survival of the company and the creation of jobs, but also the interests of suppliers, customers and investors through fair and dignified agreements
