The human resources are a very important aspect to the company that gives an aggregated value to it because it becomes more balanced and sustainable. The HR is related to sustainability because the practices of sustainability aim to protect the environment and also the healthy habits of the employees. People that consume less junk food and fats and get into healthier diets with fruit and vegetables will be healthier and more productive for the company. The human resources department can promote healthier diets and also good habits like quitting smoking, that at the same time are practices of sustainability.
Looking also from the business point of view using vehicles that pollute less the environment and also machinery will increase the health of the workers because they are less exposed to toxics and at the same time boost the morale of the company. The boost in the morale happens because people seeing that there is a company that practices green business and also sustainability will make them feel better about working here and at the same time attract others to work in this institution because being environmental friendly and being committed to sustainable practices is well seen and appreciated by the society. Then because of this the people will consume more in the company because giving the image of being a company that is in favor of sustainability gives a good image that people appreciate and because of this they will like to consume more the products done by this company instead of the ones of a company that those not promote an image of being sustainable.
An interesting point of view I also read about CEO and how they relate sustainability to a company is that the sustainability is seen as more important than ever to success and in building this new era leadership will be required and this means HR will have to take action to make this possible. This is because the leadership and organization is responsibility of HR and sustainability is going to be achieved with this.
