How to achieve a sustainable business through salvage management
Business sustainability has become a key phrase in corporate practices of the 21st century. This desirable business model can be defined as companies managing their triple bottom line – a process by which organisations manage, according to the Financial Times, “their financial, social and environmental risks, obligations and opportunities.”
Efficient business sustainability requires companies to observe the principles of sustainable development. The World Council for Economic Development (WCED) describes sustainable development as meeting “the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
With the race for businesses to adapt policies and practices that are centred on developing economic efficiency, social equity and environmental accountability, now in full swing, more and more companies are implementing effective salvage management systems centred on crafting more sustainable business practices.
Salvage management goes hand in hand with business sustainability. Being a comprehensive solution that enables companies and their customers to monitor and manage salvage-related activities with greater transparency and efficiency, salvage management provides an effective form of management for diverging industries and businesses. Adopting more proficient, transparent and prevailing business solutions, helps companies of all sizes and niches manage the triple bottom line goals related to their “financial, social and environmental risks,” with greater efficiency.
For example, in the automobile insurance industry, an efficient salvage management system would enable businesses to increase recovery rates if their company cars were involved in a collision. It would decrease salvage-related operating expenses, and help minimise inefficient manual workflows, thus adhering to the drive to meet financial, social and environmental obligations and opportunities.
Bamboo Distribution’s Intelligent Salvage Management (ISM) is another example of a system designed to help businesses become more sustainable.
