Going beyond the Buzzwords | Sustainability in Corporates
In today’s world, words such as ESG [Environmental, Social and Governance] and CSR [Corporate Social Responsibility], sustainability and circularity, are used on a daily basis. These concepts are certainly important and have become so frequent in their usage that they become buzzwords. Often used for optics rather than for real change.
In reality though, sustainability goes far beyond these terms, and that’s where Bare Necessities comes in.
Tackling Sustainability Beyond the Buzzwords
At Bare Necessities, we believe sustainability is not a transient phase or trend to ride, rather a critical necessity for businesses to address, thoughtfully and meaningfully. Our workshops aim to deepen the conversation from vague buzzwords that begin to sound like jargons to actual actions. We work with corporates to help them go beyond simply ticking boxes to taking actionable steps towards a sustainable future.
Our workshops tap into different themes of sustainability, which go far beyond the surface level understanding of ESG or Triple Bottom Lines. We cover topics such as zero waste living and circular economy to water conservation and urban gardening. Through these detailed discussions, we empower organisations with practical knowledge and tools that make sustainability ubiquitous.
For major corporations such as IKEA, Padmini VNA and more, we have customised workshops that cover the full spectrum of sustainability that touch upon various topics. Through these workshops, we converse with the entire team - white collar and blue collar employees, making everyone a part of the movement. The discussions are inclusive, with a focus on actionable goals, which the teams can apply immediately.
Creating Internal Sustainability Committees
We work along with businesses to set up sustainability committees that are responsible for driving sustainability initiatives across the organisation. These committees become the sustainability leaders within the company, ensuring that goals are met and that sustainability becomes a part of the company culture.
Through our partnership with JP Morgan, we saw over 800 engaged employees actively participating in discussions across all workshops. We helped the company set up a dedicated sustainability committee, resulting in them building a clear roadmap for their green goals.
With Stryker, we helped establish internal sustainability committees. The enthusiasm from participants has been truly gratifying. Employees are willing to eagerly participate and learn more.
