Seven Tips for Becoming a Sustainable Company

企業長命百歲 七大訣竅

永續發展是所有企業都想追求的目標,但究竟要如何達成?永續發展溝通公司SDialogue在日前發布的一份報告中,提供組織提升永續發展能力的七個訣竅:

1. 設定永續發展的目標、以及衡量成功的標準
企業應捫心自問,永續發展能為公司創造出什麼價值,並找出若不轉變為更具永續性,會付出什麼代價?同時應思考如何讓永續發展的目標與企業的目標更趨於一致。

1. Setting Sustainability Goals & Measuring Success
Companies should ask themselves what value sustainability can create for the organization, as well identify the costs of not evolving more sustainably. Consider aligning sustainability goals with broader corporate goals.

2. 利害關係人的參與
不論客戶或董事會成員,找出誰需要參與計劃,及哪些資訊能打動他們,社群媒介是與利益關係人聯繫的新興方式。

2. Stakeholder Engagement
Whether its customers or board members, identify who needs to be engaged and what information will move them. Social media is an emerging way to connect with stakeholders.

3. 規劃永續發展的議題
先從找出永續發展的各種挑戰、議題、資源,以及機會開始。

3. Sustainability Issues Mapping
Start with a grid identifying sustainability challenges, issues, sources and opportunities (see the attached image for an example).

4. 永續發展管理系統
建立一套活動與可稽核的績效目標。

4. Sustainability Management Systems
Institute a set of activities and auditable performance objectives.

5. 評估產品生命週期與產品設計
查明公司的產品或服務對環境與社會造成損害的規模,然後以最不具殺傷力的方式製造產品或提供服務。

5. Product Life Cycle Assessment & Product Design
Determine the full range of environmental and social damages that can be attributed to your products or services, then determine the least harmful ways of delivering the product or service.


6. 永續發展/企業社會責任報告(CSR Reporting)
依企業規模以及公共知名度的不同,可以編製一份正式的永續發展報告。最好採用網路版,以節省紙張。

6. Sustainability / CSR Reporting
Depending on the size of a company and its public profile, it may make sense to develop a formal sustainability report. Go with Web versions to save paper.

7. 將永續發展整合成為品牌
綠色行銷不必然是一項利基產品或服務,若將永續發展整合至營運之中,永續發展將成為整個產品線的主要賣點。擁有可孕育永續發展的企業文化,非常有助於永續發展深入產品線或服務。

7. Integrating Sustainability into Your Brand
Green marketing doesn’t have to be a niche product or service. If sustainability is integrated into a company’s operations, sustainability can be the main selling point of the whole product line.
