Operational Efficiency and Innovation
Sustainability programs can drive operational efficiency by encouraging the optimization of resources and processes. For example, adopting a circular economy model—where resources are reused and recycled—can minimize waste and reduce costs associated with raw material procurement. A report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation suggests that a circular economy could generate an economic benefit of $1 trillion annually by 20252. Moreover, sustainability can spur innovation, as companies explore new materials and processes that are both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
