"The big driver [for sustainable business practices] is probably business continuity because of poor service delivery, but the resultant by-product to that is more efficient, more sustainable organisations," Kevin James, the founder and CEO of GCX, a strategic environmental sustainability and project development company that works with corporates to track their carbon reduction targets, told Business Insider SA.
