Every company needs a sustainability plan: Expert explains why.
Sustainability is crucial to long-term success, PA Consulting sustainability and regenerative economy partner Tony Perrotta tells Josh Lipton and Julie Hyman on Asking for a Trend. "We don't see [sustainability] taking a backseat at all. It is still on every CEO and board's agenda," Perrotta says. "There's a growing realization that the lack of a climate action plan is the lack of a business continuity plan. Not having a sustainability plan in place means your company will have a higher cost of capital. It means you're equally as likely of getting put out of business by climate change as you are by your competitors," he adds.
