On Wednesday, at the Biz Sustainability Awards 2022 Gala, Biz Magazine celebrated 11 of the most respected and active companies & NGOs in Romania, organisations that truly understand what it means to be responsible and invest in the communities you belong to.
What is sustainability?
In this context, sustainability includes all the efforts businesses, NGOs and even countries have to make in order to prevent the exhaustion of resources (natural or physical). Harvard Business School measures sustainable business practices in two ways, with the goal of having a positive impact on at least one of these areas:
- the effect a business has on the environment;
- the effect a business has on society.
Sustainable brands and companies form a community of inspired leaders who stimulate innovation in the environments they belong to, offering new values and perspectives. This is especially poignant in Romania, where the last two years have proved that with inspiration, people can do wonders!
