Episode 3: Is sustainable business really worth it?
In the third episode of Beyond Compliance with Dieter Overath, part of the Impact Pays Off series, we explore whether sustainable practices actually pay off—for businesses, people, and the planet.

– Why exploitation is not a competitive advantage
– How honest communication helps avoid greenwashing
– Why reporting should serve the future of supply chains—not just regulation
He also touches on:
– The story behind your coffee and what it says about fairness
– Why startups are often ahead in sustainability
