Balance sustainability goals with client budgets using cost-effective materials, energy-saving practices, and open communication. Find the equilibrium for your business.

As I only work with small organisations, budgets are a critical consideration. Some successes we've seen: 1. Focussing on Scope 3, especially employee travel. Optimising the amount of outstation travel has reduced carbon footprint and costs, and after initial disgruntlement by some, everyone settles down to it. 2. Solar deployment which recovers cost really fast. 3. Severe reduction of waste in process and material. We've done waste audits, removed frills and fancies that have limited motivational value but large footprints. 4. Parallely, design changes to see if Scope 1 reduction is possible within budget, is done. But very slowly.

Biggest myth is that sustainability is not budget friendly! Some of the sustainable solutions those can be adopted by most of us; 1. Use water wisely 2. Reuse treated wastewater 3. Make use of day light 4. Make use of solar and wind power 5. Switch of lights and AC when not in use 6. Harvest Rain water 7. Plant native and local trees And many more When it comes to industries; the basic of Avoid, Recycle and Reuse remains the same. There's plenty for everyone's need but not for greed! When it comes to greed, any activity becomes unsustainable and tips the boundary of budget. Hence, Responsible Manufacturing and Responsible Advertisement is equally important.
