“ Staff feel they can bring their full selves to work rather than leaving their real self at the door and picking it up again , at evenings and weekends .”
According to Kellard , sustainable businesses also engage externally with “ other actors up and in their ecosystem , their regulators , suppliers and customers to bring about the transformation in their sector because that ’ s what is needed if you ’ re going to have a truly sustainable purpose ”.
