The document discusses the business case for corporate sustainability and responsibility. It outlines several drivers that are pushing companies to adopt more sustainable practices, including increased regulation, resource scarcity, climate change, globalization, and public scrutiny. It argues that sustainability is a strategic issue that protects reputation and differentiation rather than just an attempt to "save the world". The document provides examples of how Kuoni, a travel company, incorporates sustainability into its business strategy and operations through initiatives like sustainable supply chain management, capacity building for suppliers, and improving working conditions in hotels.
