There is no denying being in business can be hard. Simply maintaining an organisation to conduct business with can sometimes feel like it is becoming harder. Pressures are increasing; reporting requirements, fractured supply chains, rising costs, impermanent workforces, a changing climate. All of these concerns add to the risk of being able to continue. Yet ignoring these realities mean you may not survive! Focusing on the wrong things may have the same result.
To counter these impacts SustainableManagementSystem.com has developed a Sustainable Management System Standard so that organisations around the globe can start to plan their transformation towards more sustainable business practices. SMS:2025 v1.0 offers a clear, strategic, and principle-based framework that empowers organisations to integrate sustainability into every facet of their operations.
Where will you start?
Is it Leaders & Managers who determine the pace and direction of a sustainable business strategy? Or the data collected for your ESG reporting that dictates which actions are necessary moving forward?
Environmental impacts are starting to hit home, in our own backyard. The cost of energy and volatile supply chains are having a significant impact.
Industry analysis, climate scenario forecasting, and risk analysis is available to most of us, we simply need to find it, access it, look at what risks and opportunities are heading our way.
You cannot always rely on your government to do the work for you. The opportunities to avert, adapt, or mitigate the risks imposed by factors impacting you or your organisation must be understood, seized upon, acted upon, by you.
If not you, then who?
Leadership & Management
Having a structure for Sustainable Leadership & Management within your organisation is paramount to the success of any strategy. There can be no single person or single department to tackle the potential impacts heading your way.
Management System
Becoming a Sustainable Business will require all of your organisations departments, systems, processes, and people to work cohesively, collaboratively, with everyone positively influencing the same goals and targets.
Business Improvement
The impacts of supply chain and climate change affect both business and people. They may even impact business value, materially. Finding opportunities to mitigate or avoid costly impacts will necessitate risk analysis, prioritisation, and the use of improvement tools and techniques.
We are here to help
There is no denying there is a lot of work to be done in most organisations. The Sustainable Management System Standard and implementation courses coming in February 2025 are aimed at providing you with a running start, to help you find the momentum required to move forward, whilst at the same time recognising you already have skills, processes, and systems in place, just waiting to be enhanced to deliver Sustainable outcomes.
When we deliver the courses in February 2025, we will not provide paid courses to attend at some far-off location, and then leave you to get on with it at some point in the future. No, our courses are structured so that you can attend a lesson, when you need it, as many times as you need to, in-the-flow-of-work you are doing.
