MIT Survey Shows More Businesses are Embracing Sustainability and Turning a Profit

More companies are getting serious about sustainability and they are turning a profit
in the process. This is the conclusion of the third annual survey titled Sustainability
and Innovation Global Executive Study
from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The 2011 survey gathered more
than 4000 responses from executives and managers across all industries and
regions. Results were published in January 2012.

The report indicates that Europe is the overall sustainability leader,
while emerging markets are steadily improving. Progressive organizations are
leading the way in making the business case of sustainability. Leading industries include energy, utilities and
automakers.

It is no surprise that the larger the company, the more likely it is to have made sustainability a priority. According to MIT’s data, the case is
especially true of companies within the commodities sector.

With the exception of industrial services and media, survey respondents have
indicated that sustainability related plans have contributed to their company’s
profits.

It is interesting to note that those companies that do not make the
business case for sustainability, but attempt such actions, results in a
decrease in profits. This suggests that companies interested in sustainability have must set
clear goals and develop a targeted plan to enhance profits.

The leading benefits from embracing
sustainability are improved brand reputation, increased competitive advantage,
and better innovation. Companies profiting from sustainability-related activities were driven by customer preferences, resource scarcity and legislative or political pressure.
