Public concern regarding the impact of commercial activities on the environment has increased significantly in recent years. There is a growing awareness of the need to implement policies which enable sustainable development.

Sustainable development requires the various pillars in society to find a balance between economic growth and social inclusion with the preservation of a healthy environment for future generations.

Environment-based CSR projects go beyond the legislative obligations and promote greener economic growth. The results of these projects are quantifiable and are measured as part of a pursuit for continuous improvement. The most successful CSR projects in this area are those that deliver solutions that are both environmentally and business friendly.

Environment-based CSR projects may not garner the same amount of publicity as those with a community focus, however, many SMEs find they provide substantial financial benefits as well as improving the firm's image as an environmentally-aware company.
