A & D Policy Analysis specializes in Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability as Business Strategy
Sustainability is an altruistic -- yet practical -- goal for modern businesses to meet the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability makes sound business sense because maintaining long term profitability requires businesses to optimize their resources, minimize their waste and maintain operating flexibility.
Responding to the market, and to regulatory and activist pressures, many companies have developed policies that fall within an acceptable range of operating parameters. A & D offers the expertise to tighten these shifts toward credible sustainability.
Emerging issues and trends are often driven by government as well as by markets. Companies respond with individual competitive strategies. Frequently in matters of safety and the environment, companies focus on tracking short term measures such as the number of notices of violation, the amount of regulatory fines, emission reductions, the number of accidents, and the number of worker compensation claims.
Even though legislative and regulatory processes grind more slowly than business decision-making, compliance with current rules is often not adequate. Lawsuits and unpredictability of legal judgments can distort the implementation of laws and regulations -- sometimes requirements can even become retroactive -- as we have seen with asbestos, Superfund, and chlorofluorocarbons (such as those used for refrigerants).
Today's highly regulated food and beverage companies need to look at their environmental and management systems not only for compliance but as tools to be flexible, anticipate and respond to future trends and economic threats.
A & D can help companies move forward and at the same time control costs!
