Beyond helping curb global challenges, sustainability can aid in ensuring business success. Many successful organizations participate in sustainable business practices; however, their strategies differ. Sustainable business strategies are unique to each organization as they tie into more meaningful business goals and organizational values.
Several investors use environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics to analyze an organization’s ethical impact and sustainability practices. Factors such as a company’s carbon footprint, community development efforts, and board diversity are examined by potential investors.

Since the early 1990s, emerging markets have been the fastest-growing venues in the world for most products and services.

Hence, best practices should be adopted to address and redefine strategy and governance.
