At core topic sustainable

The impulse of purpose in the business environment presents great advantages in the adherence to sustainable values. The fact is that a company's purpose not only boosts the resilience of companies in framework in a world that is increasingly concerned about available resources, but has also proven to be useful in increasing individual commitment and the collective unity of employees around sustainability, to the extent that these transcendent values prevail in the organization's day-to-day operations.
