The relevance of sustainability

The focus of the TRIGOS awards is on sustainable business, a trend that is becoming increasingly important these days. Companies that strive for sustainability benefit from greater visibility and an improved image. Participation in TRIGOS offers, in addition to recognition, an incentive for critical reflection and further development of sustainability strategies. This includes integrating measures such as reducing CO₂ emissions and promoting renewable energies, which represent key challenges for many companies. WKO highlights the benefits of applying sustainable practices.

Companies are faced with the task of integrating sustainability into their core processes, questioning every phase of the business model and using resources wisely to realize long-term benefits. These requirements require changes in corporate strategy, which must include not only ecological but also social and economic dimensions, as described in the steps for implementing sustainability. Haufe Akademie offers helpful tools and strategies to support companies on their path to sustainability.
