A Commitment to Sustainability is an organization’s public commitment to being sustainable. It
should bring together the sustainability vision of all key stakeholders including, employees, directors,
partners, shareholders, customers, and suppliers. A Commitment to Sustainability is the initial
building block to reducing an organization’s sustainability impacts. This commitment should outline
as a brand, the areas you feel important in your journey of continued sustainability. Consider such things as governance of the brand, environmental issues, social and ethical considerations, transparency and circularity of the products you create.

A business should be prepared to be honest, critical and introspective about all of its operations.
supply chains and their associated impacts. To become more sustainable a business should be ready
to take risks, be creative and innovative. Moving beyond the regular business comfort zone is required. The Commitment to Sustainability should be signed by the CEO of the company and be communicated with all staff and
associated stakeholders. Looking to find out how sustainable your brand really is, take our sustainability assessment quiz.
