Greetings!
Nearly 50% of CFO's surveyed in a recent, global study completed for Deloitte identified sustainability as a key driver for their company's financial performance. The number of CFOs and COOs among these companies with responsibility to their Board for sustainability efforts nearly doubled in one year. Full disclosure: The companies surveyed had revenues in excess of $1 billion; New Hampshire business was not well represented in this study.
Regardless, the message is clear. More and more companies are recognizing the financial benefit of reducing resource use, increasing efficiencies, investing time in their communities and providing a workplace where employees are valued and thus, more engaged in the company's mission.
Share your story with us! Come to an NHBSR event, or get in touch with us directly - we'd like to hear more so that we can share all the wonderful things you do! Just getting started? Even a better reason to join us for our new Sustainability Roundtables, Go On Tours and webinars! Check out this email or our event calendar for the opportunities.
Very best,
Michelle Veasey, Executive Director
