2. Resource Disparity: Larger organizations continue to lead the way in sustainability, while smaller businesses require targeted assistance to overcome their barriers.
3. Broadening Impact: There is a gradual shift from ad hoc environmental actions to integrated, organization-wide sustainability strategies, though progress is uneven.
4. Community and Employee Focus: Investment in employee well-being and community partnerships remains a hallmark of NH businesses’ approach to social responsibility.
