How can companies go for sustainability?

One way companies can go for sustainability is by promoting the culture of less usage of paper & plastics. Companies should see that this rule is implemented & strictly followed by all employees.

Unnecessary wastage of paper & use of plastics should be avoided as far possible..

1. Develop the art/science of doing your activities on resources without compromising the future.

OR

2. Continuously perform repairs.....like planting a hundred saplings for every tree cut.

I simply dont see third option.

Non-bio-degradable plastics should be banned with consequences of their use treated as a capital offense.

It is not as if alternatives are short or the possibilities limited. 

From conservation of all materials and recycling of water to eco-friendly structures and resources. From finding solutions to clean air, water,to significant conservation of nature,the needs are unlimited.

The real blocker is human comfort zones that inhibits the ability to attach necessary importance to this subject.

This can only be overcome through a strong "Will to care, for the future generations".

Sustainabilty can be attained by showing dedicated and committed Responsibility towards Economic, Health, Labour and Environment Issues. Sustainabilty is much broader in nature

Myopic Vision and scant respect for Ethical conduct with single measure of happiness and success as wealth accumulated and mindless consumption is at the root plunder of the nature and making life unsustainable. We need to bring change in the value system measuring the success by narrow standards of wealth and also a change in the belief of Ends justifying the means.

big organisations has to understand their responsibility Mr. Rathin said companies should understand as well as Mr. Rajiv said bring back ethics . companies should understand their corporate social responsibility and work for it . recycling should be a law in case of paper, plastic, rubber etc so on to some extent we can save our mother earth . Many developed countries are following this but in India its not even on the scale of 1%.China has started doing as both nations are world's highly populated area now how it can achieved so every company should have a department for their CSR apart HR department who monitor all the activities. most big organisations have this department who has global presence and they are trying their level best even they know it is necessary to gain sustainability. I believe big organisations like Tata, Birla, Reliance etc should come in this field because if they will start recycling business certainly it will be on huge scale and will also benefit other organisations to maintain sustainability factor. few things like our newspaper, our grocery bags , carry bags from kirana this things should completely be recycled as well as mineral bottle even Bisleri has started this things by collaborating themselves with Rag Pickers. I think it will be one of the most effective strategy if implemented
