SMEs and GRI
Whatever the size of a business, it remains true that having a baseline idea of what the company is using in terms of energy and water at a minimum and what it is generating in terms of GHG emissions and waste is a necessity to understand and convey both current impacts and sustainability gains made from then on. You can't manage what you don't measure, as they say.
The Waste Problem
It is not enough to focus on just one thing. As we tackle the very real and imposing threat of climate change, we must look at all the things that have added to this problem, including the generation of products and packaging that then have led to ever larger piles of waste and waste-related emissions.
