Sustainable business

A sustainable business is a successful and profitable business. It is one that continuously improves its productivity by taking action on the economic, social and environmental impacts of its business.

That means a Sustainable Business takes a sustainable approach to what it produces, how it buys and sells, how it affects the environment, where it invests, how it recruits, trains and develops its own people, how it engages with the community in which it operates and how it respects the rights of people.

More information on how to develop sustainable business practices can be found on the following websites:

Oxfordshire Sustainable Business Partnership - OxSBP aims to help improve business productivity and competitiveness through resource efficiency and waste reduction and enhance the adoption of sustainable business practices.

ClimateXChange - The Oxfordshire ClimateXChange is a new project for Oxfordshire, and their website has a wealth of information about climate change and ways in which everyone can play their part in addressing it.

Thames Valley Energy – Thames Valley Energy promote and facilitate practical sustainable energy solutions and provide education for communities, businesses, organisations and individuals.
