A CYNIC MIGHT ATTEMPT TO DISMISS IT AS simply the latest buzzword du jour, but for many companies and organizations, sustainability – doing business without negatively impacting the environment, community or society – is much more. In fact, it is a top priority for several businesses on both sides of the Ohio River throughout the NKY Metro region. By committing to promoting and maintaining sustainable operations, each organization is putting its values front and center, not only as part of its business model, but in hopes of inspiring others to follow suit. These three local organizations/businesses are working to sustain their industries today to ensure they – and our world as a whole – can enjoy their hard work tomorrow and beyond.
