Relationship between sustainability and finance

Success in corporate strategic sustainability initiatives will influence success from both microeconomics and macroeconomic perspectives. These are only viable when applied on a universal level. Achieving the goals is possible by issuing government entity regulations or by incorporating sustainability principles into companies’ visions, which is more powerful.
By adopting sustainability principles within corporations, management will prioritize opportunities for long-term investments over short-term returns. Challenges like population increases, land and agricultural stresses, growing pressures on water quantity and quality, extreme weather and rising demand for modern energy services will influence social and regulatory responses. These challenges will greatly affect future markets and businesses.
When corporations use available resources efficiently and responsibly, they will achieve profitability and stability and also create synergistic effects in the economy. This will contribute to the financial welfare of the whole community and create environmental and social benefits.
To reach the desired outcomes, it is essential to link sustainability key performance indicators to financial ones and consider both equally important. It is also necessary to build measures of the effects of sustainability initiatives on shareholder value and investor long-term returns.
I believe that business practices which are built around social and environmental considerations will mitigate the capitalism inefficiencies and create resilient economies.
