Setting up a sustainable business
The page was last modified:When setting up a new business, there are many choices and decisions to be made.
This is when it is easiest to start the sustainability work.
A sustainable business is one that strives for profitability, while taking into account environmental and social aspects as an integral element of its overall operations.
The information on sustainable entrepreneurship is divided into four sections in our sustainability guide. Which sections that are relevant to you and your business will depend on whether you are selling goods or services, what industry you are operating in, and how far you have come in the work of integrating sustainability into your business. Each section also includes questions to consider for developing your sustainability work.
All the questions from all four sections are collected together here.
