Businesses that are undergoing change or that seek to transform themselves into companies with models that contribute to the world have a wide range of options to become sustainable. To do this, the ideal would be for each company to choose its space and the niche in which it is going to contribute to the planet, explains Andrea Fiallos, president of the La Iguana Foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to counteract the effects of climate change. , and that transforms spaces with plants.
Those who want to be sustainable can do so in the hands of associations or serious non-profit organizations that know and manage well the area or field in which the business or company wants to contribute. This is to help them achieve specific goals, year after year, and to be able to build programs that make their action visible, says Fiallos.
Among the macro examples are changed or transformed avenues, infrastructure for climate adaptation in cities; investigations that are not so tangible, but that are vital, among others.
Research, science, conservation and education are fields or spaces in which people or businesses invest very little, says the environmentalist, without considering the great benefit they bring to the planet, the economy and society.
Sustainability Tips
• It is necessary to know what type of company it is, where it wants to go, what is the area in which it would like to contribute.
• It is important to work or associate for that change with someone you know and do their job well in the socio-environmental part.
• In sustainability, the company, the industry or even a product can be transformed.
• Changes are not overnight, they take many years in the case of transforming a community, a society, an urban place.
• Allocate economic resources or part of the cost of the products sold to the place where the company, the industry or where the raw material is obtained.
“There is no strong commitment to conserving or contributing to conservation research, for example, of tropical forests. The dry forest is one of the least studied and most logged in the world. We have to think about what kind of country we want to be, what we want to preserve.”
