Sustainability matters have been evolving globally, and increasingly in the Middle East among public and private entities of different sizes and industries. The concept has been introduced by the United Nations’ World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) and defined as: “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
Nowadays, sustainability goes beyond corporate social responsibility. Stakeholders expect corporations to adopt an environmentally, socially, and ethically balanced business behavior. Likewise, regulators have increasingly focused on the triple bottom line aspects “social, environmental, and economic” of the sustainability development to avoid unpredictable business crisis.
The concepts of sustainability domains have become a strategic priority for organisations, opening up new opportunities to reduce costs and increase revenue while identifying and isolating related risks.
RSM Saudi Arabia Sustainability Services focuses on continual improvement of business operations by covering the “triple bottom line” aspects that includes areas of:
- Sustainability reporting and assurance
- Sustainability diagnostic, risk management, and compliance
- Sustainability communication and digitisation
- Social impact and social return on investment
