Speaking to edie, HW Fisher’s director of sustainability, Jae Mather, says this will be achieved by implementing sustainable procurement, local economic impact assessments, Social Return on Investment (SROI), triple bottom line accounting, life cycle assessment, natural capital and environmental profit and loss assessments.
“A big focus environmentally is continuing the rollout of sustainable solutions into the business world and keeping an eye squarely on innovations in the marketplace,” says Mather.
Mather also pointed to the important role of the sustainability professional and how the job needs to evolve to ensure its effectiveness.
“Sustainability professionals need to become a jack of all trades.
