"We do today what they won’t, so tomorrow we can accomplish what they can’t."
— Dwayne Johnson

There's a dangerous misconception in sustainability that is about to turn the business world upside down.

❌ The Problem:

As more companies across North American supply chains are drawn into supporting publicly traded firms to meet shifting regulatory requirements, there’s a prevalent misunderstanding: the belief that all it takes is a one-time effort—filling out a form and hitting submit.

This misconception is a serious one, and it’s going to come back to haunt them.

It’s like going to the gym once a year and expecting to walk out as a high-performing athlete. You will be disappointed.

Just like being physically fit, sustainability requires daily discipline. It involves tracking your progress, adapting when results fall short, seeking expert advice when needed, and holding yourself accountable. It takes commitment.

Some companies understand this and have started to make the consistent effort needed. They are having crucial internal discussions, making changes at the board level, implementing new supply chain requirements, and recording their daily actions and achievements.

Like any fundamental economic shift, those who can foresee the future are taking daily action because they know that this level of discipline will make their companies more resilient and competitive in the future.

✅ The Solution:

If your company needs to break old habits and create new sustainable ones, get started today by making sustainability a daily practice. Document your efforts with tools like the Sustainability Ledger created by 7 Centre.

Along with space for governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets, the ledger also includes a performance log with detailed record-keeping to systematically monitor and update sustainability initiatives across various timeframes.

Our customers are already recording daily actions, weekly accomplishments, the opportunities they are working on, and progress toward annual milestones. This approach captures their company’s sustainability story, showcases their journey toward becoming a more sustainable and resilient business, and supports the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)'s IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 standards.

Don’t wait. Get into the daily habit that sustainability disclosure demands. Your commitment now will make you stronger and more competitive in the future!
