Sustainability is happening. Your organization either sees it as a cost of doing business, or an opportunity to improve overall business operations. So, how do we embrace this shift? How do we keep up—or ahead—so we don’t get swept to the side?
Thinking sustainably touches virtually every aspect of our lives, from how we conduct ourselves personally to how we conduct our businesses: Don’t use something unless you have to, design products that minimize raw materials, and reclaim the materials once you’re done with them—these are the new maxims for us all. We don’t need to be misers; we just need to be smarter about our usage.
The big question is, “How do we get started?” In this issue of SMT007 Magazine, we take on that challenge. We asked several organizations either in the industry, or tangential to it, and as was expected, the responses lined up closely with their mission statements.

It’s Only Common Sense: You Need to Learn to Say ‘No’
11/18/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhy is it so hard to say “no?” I am a people pleaser, so this is a problem I deal with all the time. Most of us like to say “yes,” and we like to help people, especially when they are offering a business deal that looks like a genuine opportunity. Business opportunities come from all directions, and it’s tempting to say “yes” to them all. However, saying “yes” to everything can dilute your focus, spread your resources too thin, and pull you away from your core goals. Learning to say “no” is not just a skill; it’s necessary for success. It’s only common sense.
