CONCLUSION

FFTF businesses can build a more holistic sustainability strategy, rather than doing things piecemeal. They also look beyond their own processes and assess the sustainability of their supply chains and spheres of influence.

FFTF businesses aim to drive change in an even wider sense, championing collaboration and partnering with other businesses and sectors to create sustainable ‘ecosystems’ that combine the efforts of governments, charities and regulators.

They recognise that technology will play a crucial role; whereas non-FFTF businesses either rely on the technology they already have or simply don’t have the resources to make further progress.

FFTF businesses understand that sustainability is an absolute necessity for their long-term growth prospects. They'll often stick with their sustainability commitments rather than creating new ones. Their long-term growth is likely to come from this commitment, even if it creates short-term challenges.

And they're being rewarded for it. FFTF businesses are now attracting more inward investment.

But capitalising on the advantages of sustainability means doing it properly. It's about having a clear view of what sustainability is, developing a clear strategy. investing in helpful technologies and avoiding greenwashing. Customers are increasingly say and will be able to see through any disingenuous attempts at promoting green credentials.

It’s clear then, that sticking to sustainability initiatives is a better way to encourage growth. Foregoing short-term advantages could pay off in the long run.
