Your business creates value for many members of your community – yourself, your employees, your customers, your suppliers, the environment, and the community.
Every decision you make as a business owner will have a ripple effect into multiple groups of people. Socially Responsible PracticesThe practices you implement in your workplace and in the community can have far-reaching effects, from whom you hire to cooperative practices with other businesses to community events. Environmentally Responsible PracticesHow you acquire supplies and produce your products and services can impact the environment, from product components and packaging to energy efficiency to acquiring locally produced goods. ProfitYour profitability as a business affects your own personal wealth and that of your suppliers and employees. Your products and services provide a unique value that enhances customer lifestyles. Whom you bank with, whom you buy products and services from, and charitable practices all have an impact on the community’s economic health. |
