In this guide, you will discover how to turn sustainability into a driver of profitability, resilience and business leadership.
What is the ROI of Sustainability?
The Return on Investment (ROI) is a widely known metric in the business world. Applied to sustainability, it allows you to assess the real value - in numbers - of your environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.

ROI (%) = (Net Profit / Initial Investment) x 100
The key is that net income includes not only new revenue, but also avoided costs y operational savings.
