The document discusses the business case for increased sustainability in organizations. It defines sustainability as meeting financial, environmental and social needs of the present without compromising future generations' ability to do the same. Integrating sustainability can reduce risks like health, reputation and regulatory issues. It also leads to six main benefits: 1) Risk reduction, 2) Cost savings, 3) Revenue increases, 4) Competitive advantage, 5) Innovation, and 6) Increased productivity and quality. Implementing sustainability properly allows companies to gain tangible benefits while doing the right thing.
This document provides an overview of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It defines CSR as a self-regulating business model that helps companies monitor their impact on stakeholders and ensure they operate legally and ethically. The document discusses the business case for CSR, including benefits like risk management, brand differentiation and improved human resources. It also notes criticisms of CSR, such as concerns that it distracts from economic roles or is just superficial. The document provides context on the development of CSR and approaches companies take in implementing it.
1) The document discusses ethics in business decision-making and defines ethics as "the rules and standards applied by individuals when making decisions in their business environment." It argues that conducting business ethically is critical for long-term organizational sustainability.
2) It notes that while regulation is important, it is not sufficient on its own to ensure ethical behavior as businesses can find ways around it. Fostering an ethical culture and providing a decision-making process that considers stakeholders is important.
3) The document identifies three key performance indicators of sustainable and ethical businesses: return on capital employed, leadership trust, and corporate reputation. It argues that performing well on all three will lead to long-term success.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) explores businesses' responsibilities to society beyond legal and economic obligations. While having no set definition, CSR generally involves balancing economic, environmental, and social imperatives. It addresses how companies manage their relationships and impacts on stakeholders like employees, customers, investors, and local communities. Debate around CSR concerns whether businesses' sole purpose is maximizing shareholder value or if they have broader duties. The concept has evolved from early 20th century critiques of large corporations' power and influences to today's focus on sustainability and managing social and environmental risks for long-term success.
The document discusses the concept and history of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It explains that CSR involves companies integrating social and environmental concerns into their business operations and stakeholder interactions. The history of CSR is traced back to companies in the late 1800s that provided benefits to employees and local communities. More recently, CSR has grown to encompass considerations around ethics, governance, human rights, the environment, and more. The concept of the "triple bottom line" is introduced as a way for companies to balance economic, social, and environmental impacts through their CSR efforts. Key components of modern CSR are identified as governance, ethics, workplace practices, supply chain management, customer satisfaction, community involvement, and environmental stewardship.

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Regulations
In todays business environment, companies are under growing pressure to comply with
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) regulations.
Increasingly, they are looking for an integrated approach to these issues to keep their
compliance costs low, avoid potential litigation and even to protect their corporate image.

by making sure the company complies with relevant regulations and by helping reduce the
number of accidents occurring in the workplace.
To facilitate the process for clients, 5th Sun EMS Consulting Group LLC constantly monitors
changes to the Law and carries out detailed assessments to check compliance. The best
examples of good practice are noted, and used as benchmarks for other sites that need

5. Carbon Footprint
A carbon footprint is defined as:
The total amount of greenhouse
gases produced to directly and
indirectly support human activities, usually
expressed in equivalent tons of carbon
dioxide (CO2).
In other words: When you drive a car, the
engine burns fuel which creates a certain
amount of CO2, depending on its fuel
consumption and the driving distance. (CO2
is the chemical symbol for carbon dioxide).
When you heat your house with oil, gas or
coal, then you also generate CO2. Even if
you heat your house with electricity, the
generation of the electrical power may
also have emitted a certain amount of
CO2. When you buy food and goods, the
production of the food and goods also
emitted some quantities of CO2.
Your carbon footprint is the sum of all
emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), which
were induced by your activities in a given
time frame. Usually a carbon footprint is
calculated for the time period of a year.
Triple Bottom Line
Measuring sustainability became possible by encompassing a new framework
to measure performance in corporate America and the rest of the world. This
accounting framework, called the triple bottom line (TBL), went beyond the
traditional measures of profits, return on investment, and shareholder value to include
environmental and social dimensions. By focusing on comprehensive investment results
that is, with respect to performance along the interrelated dimensions of profits, people and
the planettriple bottom line reporting can be an important tool to support sustainability
goals.
Interest in triple bottom line accounting has been growing across for-profit, nonprofit and
government sectors. Many businesses and nonprofit organizations have adopted the TBL
sustainability framework to evaluate their performance, and a similar approach has gained
currency with governments at the federal, state and local levels.
6. Greenhouse Gases Emissions and Global Warming
Greenhouse Gas Emissions are those greenhouse gases that allow sunlight to enter
the atmosphere freely and contribute to the greenhouse effect, which many believe
is the cause of global warming. There are natural and man-made greenhouse gas
emissions. The primary greenhouse gases thought to be major contributors to global
warming are; carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), methane & biomethane emissions (CH 4),
chlorofluorocarbons, and nitrogen oxides (N2O). Not included, but should be included
according to some climate scientists is water vapor.
The primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions from man-made sources include;
fossil-fueled power plants such as natural gas power plants and coal fired power plants.
Other sources of greenhouse gas emissions linked to man-made causes include internal
combustion engines (fueled by gasoline and petroleum diesel) and deforestation.
