“Sustainability is not a fad nor a fringe issue. It’s a way for business to lower costs and be resilient against long- term challenges like climate change and rising energy and resource costs. .. Victorian businesses need to do “more from less”.In essence, tomorrow starts today. We must act now to ensure businesses are competitive in the future.” (Industry Sustainability Working Committee 2014)
