Small and medium businesses may not see the need to take the plunge into ESG<\/a> for the purpose of attracting investment, for example, but keeping up with the world’s dedicated push toward sustainability can lead to good outcomes all around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best examples of how good practices can come together is seeking out suppliers or vendors for food that support value chains that follow regenerative farming practices. Generally, regenerative farming supports major sustainability points in biodiversity and soil health, which is a major concern for the future of arable land (food security and cost). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to the point, businesses are now part of an ecosystem of stakeholders that are well-informed and seek out companies that can provide information on their current actions toward sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn’t mean that the owners or operators of a small or medium restaurant, or medium-sized office, need to run out and spend thousands of dollars on tracking software. Sustainability<\/a> can begin with actions in play such as finding more sustainable vendors and food products or creating a fair and clean work environment. Fair and equal pay can also be a part of sustainability (and ESG, Environmental, Social and Governance). Your customers will appreciate the efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that many younger consumers are looking for businesses that can meet their expectations in service or product and their expectations as what’s appropriate behavior and fairness. To some degree, there is subjectivity on this front, but most businesses that enter into the ESG game figure their way through over time in concert with their main stakeholders (customers!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, the future of the planet, and things like continued robust food production, matter to the continued existence of many businesses (restaurants) and the global community, along with the cost of doing business, so there is never a bad time to jump on board the road to sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits to my firm in considering biodiversity and vendors?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
