Recent interviews with CFOs conducted by Deloitte confirmed that ignoring sustainability presented a risk for the future as well as a major opportunity for the present. Data from CFOs confirms that adapting and adopting to sustainable sources and practices impacts positively on the bottom line.
“To be profitable going forward, we have to invest in sustainability. It’s not an option but a necessity. If this is not done, the organization will not be able to survive in future years.”
