In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 as “International Mother Earth Day.” The main message for this year’s 52nd Earth Day is #InvestInOurPlanet . It aims to mobilize citizens, businesses and governments on how they can work together for a sustainable planet.
World Earth Day #InvestInOurPlanet : What businesses are doing.
Connecting business and environmental goals is essential in today’s business environment, so Earth Day is an opportunity for businesses and organizations to mobilize around this global priority.
Studies show a direct correlation between sustainable business practices and business performance. As a result, companies with strong Environmental Social Governance (ESG) standards have higher profitability, better financials, happier employees, and higher stock returns.

More and more organizations of all sizes are realizing that sustainability is the path to growth and prosperity. More specifically, they recognize the imperative to contribute to a more sustainable future, for both social and business reasons.
Sustainability and sustainable development are global priorities, motivating businesses and governments to adopt new strategies and practices.
Traditional business models aim to create value for owners, often at the expense of other stakeholders. In contrast, sustainable businesses redefine the corporate ecosystem. Specifically, they design new models that create value for all stakeholders, including employees, shareholders, supply chains, civil society and the planet.
