Nachhaltigkeit im Unternehmen

Sustainable business practices are currently one of the biggest challenges for companies. The demands from governments and the EU are constantly increasing, and major retail chains are also requiring their suppliers to provide proof of diligence in the supply chain and climate protection.

Those who want to operate sustainably face various hurdles, from unfamiliar technical terms to an extremely differentiated and extensive range of tasks. If a company lacks the necessary expertise, there is a significant risk of losing track.

This book provides a solution: it briefly describes the most important sustainability topics, from climate protection to sustainability in the supply chain and sustainability marketing. Step-by-step guides offer quick orientation for implementation. Effort estimates and clarifications on whether professional support is needed round off the chapters. Valuable practical examples from engaged companies complement the theory.

Since 1993, the Ulm Initiative for Sustainable Economic Development e.V. has been working together with its member companies to promote sustainable economic development and has made significant contributions in the region. We aim to share the wealth of experience gained through this book.
