Leading the Way in Sustainability - Business and Master Plan Stragtegy
Zoos and Aquariums are natural leaders in conservation efforts. Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are directly correlated to conservation efforts. Yet, for all the good these institutions do, they need to adopt more sustainable practices that will allow them to align with their natural mission. This poster was presented to the AZA at the 2014 conference with an associated booklet and stresses the Social and Business aspects of Sustainable practices that need to be adopted so that the proper Sustainable Frameworks can be developed and customized for each institution. Once these Sustainable Frameworks are adopted and the effort put forth, AZA institutions (and any other business) can lead by example towards reducing their carbon footprint.
