5 sustainability tips for small businesses with Amy Robertson-Thrift
Manage episode 358467373 series 3314267
Sustainability is extremely important to me, and last year I decided to take my business in the direction of becoming a certified B Corp business. This means being held to higher standards of social and environmental performance, along with other stringent factors. To help me achieve this, I had Amy Robertson-Thrift join my team. Amy is an amazing bookkeeper, as well as being super passionate about sustainability.
Today I chat with Amy, who shares 5 tips for small businesses to move forward on the sustainability front. While it’s a big space and can feel overwhelming to tackle, you don’t need to be an expert. It’s the simple steps we can take that will change how we do things and potentially influence big businesses to do the same.
We dive into ideas around:
- Starting where you are
- Finding a team or sustainability representative to support your endeavours
- Changing your bank and employer super fund to an ethical provider
- Looking at your physical operations to find where you can reduce waste
- Thinking locally and building community
Setting a couple of goals or creating an achievable baseline can be such an effective way to take steps towards sustainability in your business. Amy shares some amazing insight into the mindset you can adopt, whether you’re just looking to make some small, positive changes or you’re working towards certification.
I hope this episode really gets you thinking and inspires you to move your sustainability measures forward in your own world.
