How to Drive Sustainability with Specright

At some point, every business rises up to their ESG responsibilities. For the uninitiated, it can be difficult to find the starting point though.

Regardless of your operations, there are three fundamental pillars of ESG that you should prioritize while aligning your business with sustainability practices. 

The first pillar is Environmental.
Be it product manufacturing, distribution or service, your actions as a business have an impact on the environment. And the most important question you need to ask yourself is how you can minimize this impact. Today, companies can use a myriad of tools to measure their environmental efficiencies, which include emissions, water & energy consumption, packaging and waste, etc. These tools can also assist businesses in implementing environmentally friendly solutions across their manufacturing and procurement practices to reduce their carbon footprint.

The second pillar is Social.
Do your operations have any social implications? At first, answering this question might seem difficult because of the ever-evolving social landscape. However, you can ensure social acceptance by seeking validation from people that matter to your business. If your customers, employees and stakeholders approve of your operating procedures, you know you are on the right track.

The third pillar is Governance.
This includes ensuring compliance with the guidelines laid out by the government or meeting industry standards and benchmarks set by peers. When you check all these boxes, your business is considered trustworthy and ethical – two of the strongest suites of a sustainable business.
