SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

The quality of organizations relationships and engagement with its stakeholders is critical. Directly or indirectly, organizations affect what happens to employees, workers in the value chain, customers and local communities, and it is important to manage impacts proactively.

Actions to achieve social sustainability may unlock new markets, help retain and attract business partners, or be the source for innovation for new product or service lines. Internal morale and employee engagement may rise, while productivity, risk management and company-community conflict improve.
