Sustainability has become a buzzword in the world of business. From mere corporate social responsibility, or CSR, where companies pay back to society through their charitable initiatives, now organisations focus on how to create a sustainable future for themselves and the community they are in, if not the world.
But sustainable business is apparently much more than just tracking and curbing carbon emission figures. Rather, sustainability has morphed into corporate commitments to create a healthier world in all perspectives, not just the environment but also other essential aspects of life including but not limited to the consumption of energy, money and finance, health, human rights and even culture.
In order to turn corporate missions towards sustainability into reality, firms around the world are therefore shifting their focus on sustainability from talk to action. And UOB Thailand is no exception.
