Success THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY IS NO LONGER JUST A GLOBAL NGO ISSUE, WRITES VIKRAM PAWAH, CEO OF BMW GROUP AUSTRALIA.

Everyone is talking about it. Many people are starting to make small changes such as recycling, using less plastic or eating less meat. But only a few people – relative to the total population – are making big changes when it comes to sustainability.

Understandably, this sort of radical transformation of one’s footprint is hard to achieve in a carbon-centric world. And that’s why I’m proud to work for an organisation that is making a real difference, not only in its own operations but through providing genuine solutions to issues that affect us all.

I recently spent some time reading through the latest Urban Mobility Index by HERE Technologies, which is a fascinating look into the reality of mobility in 38 of the world’s leading cities. In some cases, there were no surprises, like the fact that Mumbai ranks lowest for traffic flow. However, there were also some really interesting – albeit disappointing – surprises with Sydney and Melbourne ranking 28th and 25th respectively out of 38. We clearly have a lot of work to do here in the New World.
