The social aspect of sustainability 

An organization's number one resource, their people, must be happy, healthy and satisfied to ensure that the organization can continually exist and thrive.  It is vital to implement social programs, activities, and marketing and educational events that demonstrate your organization’s corporate social responsibility.  It is also import to track and report progress on goals your organization is setting and achieving. This will help your organization attract and retain employees, customers or clients, and investors - all while reducing sick time and improving overall employee and customer wellness and satisfaction!
