FDR’s quote about holding on to hope for a better world, just beyond the horizon.
Did you know that sustainable organizations are more resilient to change? They also build in efficiencies that save money, create stronger brands, retain employees and customers, and maximize their reputation. Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing profits. In today’s market, to protect brand and competitive placement in the market, businesses must ensure that people and the environment are not harmed in the process of reaching their financial goals. Government and education institutions are exposed to the same acceleration of change as well.
Sustainability drives business success
In fact, business leaders are prioritizing the power of their sustainability initiatives to further drive business success, profits, and brand. The Harvard Business Review says, “It may seem counterintuitive that spending more money on sustainable business practices can boost a company’s profitability, but studies show that the most sustainable companies are also the most profitable.”
Peak Sustainability Group is purpose-driven
The author of Reimagining Capitalism in a World On Fire, Rebecca Henderson, says: “Purpose-driven organizations are very much aware that while they must generate profits to survive, making money is not their primary goal. Some purpose driven firms exist to improve the lives of their customers. Some focus on creating employment. Others hope to solve the world’s environmental and social problems. but in every case they put mission over the need to maximize short-term shareholder returns.”

Big changes are underway and risk is defining the future.
- Banks, the insurance industry, and businesses are waking up to future climate change risks.
- Our military sees climate change as one of our nation’s greatest threats. Access to ports and the resilience of our military installations are in the crosshairs for sea level rise, intense storms, and supply chain disruptions.
- More investors recognize the link between changes in climate and what they see business doing or not doing.
- Equity is playing a larger role in politics. This is impacting the workforce and their expectations.
- Electrification is coming on fast which changes cost projections, manufacturing, and transport of goods.
- Businesses will see impacts to their bottom line and future competitiveness.
- Saving money is about reducing waste, recycling valuable commodities, or implementing energy efficiencies
