Be clean and green

Adoption of environmentally sustainable practices is also becoming commonplace as a means of increasing the overall resilience and financial sustainability of businesses.  The use of renewable energy, improved water practices and effective waste prevention and management are core to this move to enable businesses to ride the ups and downs of the market place. 

The more in-control we are of the components that are essential to our business the more likely we are able to ride out the lowpoints sometimes coming our way through natural disasters, financial crises or health pandemics.  If we are not yet doing this maybe we can use the covid downtime to plan to make those changes.  See also the section on the Circular Economy.
