Oxfordshire Sustainable Business Partnership
OxSBP aims to help improve business productivity and competitiveness through resource efficiency and waste reduction and enhance the adoption of sustainable business practices.
A Sustainable Business is a successful and profitable business by continuously improving its productivity. This is achieved by taking action on the economic, social and environmental impacts of its business.
This means that a Sustainable Business takes a
- sustainable approach to what it produces, how it buys and sells,
- considers how it affects the environment
- considers where it invests, how it recruits, trains and develops its own people
- considers how it engages with the community in which it operates
- considers how it respects the rights of people.
