A humanist enterprise must implement its policies of valuing and respecting individuals, the biosphere and societal impact in a coherent holistic manner. Neglecting any aspect affecting its stakeholders may entail risks, compromise efficiency or even threaten long-term sustainability. Focusing on customer or supplier relations while disregarding the management of employees (or managing personnel well while failing to use natural resources efficiently) can damage a corporate reputation or result in lost opportunities when compared to more diligent operators.
