Business case for sustainability transcends politics

The 2016 U.S. presidential election left a lot at stake for environmental policy and corporate social responsibility. But businesses have the power to push for the policies they need to ensure a sustainable future. “It’s important to tell lawmakers the business case you know so well,” said Anne Kelley, Ceres’ senior program director of policy and BICEP program. Businesses also have a responsibility to tell their success stories out loud over various forms of media, she said: “The money you’re saving, the emissions you’re bringing down, the materials you’re recycling.”
