Capitalism is always seen as the enemy of social justice and the environment as they only focus on profit maximisation.

Sustainability acts as a counterforce in the capitalist system.

Here’s how it makes sense.

1. Long term view of business/industry. Sustainability aims to make companies operate for as long as possible with the least damage to the environment.

2. Its a sunrise industry so there’s a lot of growth and exciting opportunities. Demand is growing all over the world and there is no sign of it slowing down.

3. Focus on efficient use of resources. Fewer wastages translate to better profit.

4. Innovative ways of doing things as sustainability requires rethinking how traditional companies operate.

5. Better for humanity as consideration on stakeholders like staff health, community and environment are important for the company.

A green business can be lucrative and at the same time satisfy the need for human and the environment to live in harmony.

So jump on board the green train!
