A Step towards Sustainability

Change is inevitable; whether you choose to remain passive to this fact, one way or other its effect will find you. And when you are a part of the business market,  adopting the change, keeping the pace is one of the most astute factors. As it happens, the environmental issues we are facing are more pressing than ever, and in this issue, acting is more important than adopting. It is our responsibility to take every measure and act on the issues of environmental changes; be it a small initiation.

We are in the midst of environmental disaster and being ignorant on this point, can cause a situation where there will be no going back. In this situation of chaos, Sustainability has become more than just a concept; it has literally become our future. Sustainability has converged with business issues, where new topics have emerged, allowing for the reinvention of sustainability to meet the needs of a new reality.

Being sustainable can be a part of our everyday life if you choose to and as “sustainable” is such a broad concept, sustainability, and its impact on business practices have become undeniable. The consumer-based economics and culture practice is argued to shift on conserver-based, which are expected to create more employment, wealth and quality life for coming generation as well, than current practices of consuming and degrading resources that are in finite supply.

Sustainability and Business

Sustainability is a very simple concept; it is all about adopting environmentally friendly practices. The companies that abide by the principles of sustainability aims to reduce their environmental footprints through initiatives that minimize waste, improves environmental stewardship, and unethical environmental practices. 

The practice of sustainable business is different among the industries and often specific to the type of company and product/service it produces. Some companies choose paperless billing or DIY the office wastes, while some might make environmental consideration a part of the criteria of doing business with other companies; the simple rule is to address current environmental concerns while maintaining profitable position.

Our Simple Practises towards Sustainability

Sustainable practices can create profitability, reduce cost, boost morale, attract new customers, and intellects to our business. Being in a business of tourism, Yacca Travel & Tours is already dependent on nature and with our small effort form educating our clients on being a responsible traveler to using innovative ideas within our office; we seek to prevail for a better cause.

Educating our associates

One of the best thing about being a part of the tourism sector is meeting a wide array of people. And it is an absolute delight on creating awareness on the need for sustainability and providing ideas on minimizing the effects of our actions; our clients, our business partners, and our employees.

Conserving Energy and Water

It is one of the easiest and obvious ways of minimizing impacts on the environment. We are often ignorant about how these simple efforts can eventually lead to a greater cause. We use multiple electronic appliances in our workstation, and turning the main switch off during breaks makes energy conservation an easy work. Similarly, there are energy efficient light bulbs that can aid to some extent.

Food is one thing, but there are people who are dying from dehydration. It is totally unfair, when, here we are, playing with water and out there people are suffering for a few drops. We restrict bottled water in our office and for our clients as well, we suggest the same while trekking and travelling.

Recycling and Reuse

It skips almost everyone's mind how much paper waste happens in a day. But we can always minimize the use of paper by taking extra care of our need; printing documents in only important cases, using both sides of the paper, using email and pdf files, reusing non-printed side of the paper, selling the used paper instead of burning or trashing.

Using Sustainable Products

From construction materials to household, there is a choice to be sustainable. Being sustainable is promoting the environment while supporting social and economic factors. Reusable coffee cups, LED bulbs, biodegradable plastic bag, recycled toilet tissue are some of the environmental friendly products we use as an initiation towards sustainability.
