Sustainability: A Journey Shaped by Business Size

Our research surveyed a diverse group of manufacturers and retailers, revealing how businesses tackle sustainability differently depending on their size. While each group faces unique challenges, certain themes shine through:

• Smaller Businesses prioritise practical, accessible sustainability measures. From solopreneurs focusing on water-saving features to small teams using renewable materials like wood and palm leaves, these businesses embrace tangible steps with authenticity and resourcefulness.
• Medium-Sized Organisations shift their focus to recyclability and transparency, leveraging materials like HDPE plastic and glass. They combine accessible communication with formal education efforts, including workshops and written resources.
• Larger Companies harness their resources to tackle complex challenges like circular economies and ESG frameworks. With renewable energy sources and reclaimed materials at the forefront, they set benchmarks for the industry’s future.

No matter the size, businesses are making strides to align their products and processes with sustainable goals, but the scale and approach vary widely.
