9. Why?
“Companies are realizing the benefits of
sustainable practices across the board . . . Smart,
sustainable decisions save money . . . Reducing

engaging employees yields lower, slower turnover.
Conducting business conscientiously can also
have the added perk of increasing revenue
through brand-consumer alignment.”
Erin Hinton, senior sustainability consultant at Shift
Advantage
