Introduction:

E-business, also known as electronic business, refers to the use of


information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support all aspects of
business operations, including buying and selling of goods and services, over
the internet.

Sustainability in e-business refers to the practice of minimizing the negative


impact of e-business operations on the environment, society, and economy,
while maximizing the positive impact.

It is important sustaining the ability to achieve or meet current needs without


compromising the ability to meet future generations’ needs and the attempt to
reduce negative impacts on the environmental, social, and economic
dimensions in terms of efficient utilization of resources in both domestic and
international contexts

What are the positive impacts of e-commerce to sustainability?

Transportation emissions

E-commerce business models allow for organizations to conduct business


without physically commuting. Transportation is responsible for a large
number of harmful emissions/pollution, and by reducing your organization’s
reliance on it, you can reduce your carbon footprint. Additionally, if e-
commerce organizations allow employees to work from home, they can
decrease their footprint even further.

Paper waste

Paper waste is created by most organizations. When information is


transferred digitally, it reduces the need for the use of physical paper
throughout the business. This can help reduce an organization’s footprint by
reducing (or eliminating) paper waste. Paperless business models have a
number of benefits and can be made possible using e-commerce capabilities.

Through conducting a advertisement online it can lessen the use of papers


where they can transferred the information digitally.

Digital storage

The digital transfer of information paired with digital manufacturing could


eliminate warehouses and create on-demand production. It is not exactly
common knowledge among consumers at large, but warehouses can be an
environmental issue. Warehouses consume large tracts of land and freight
trucks traveling to and from
them can create air pollutants, pavement/road damage, noise pollutants, and
potential traffic safety issues.

Environmental opportunities for sellers

Another significant benefit that eCommerce offers the environment is that the
rise of online shopping has created many opportunities for earth-friendly
sellers.

Today’s consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environment's


fragility and what they can do to be more environmentally friendly. As a result,
consumers are calling on brands to offer earth-friendly products and conduct
earth-friendly business practices. Overall, today’s shoppers prefer to purchase
from eco-friendly brands.

It’s a competitive marketplace, and brand loyalty is not guaranteed. But


sustainable products and programs are an effective way for eCommerce
businesses to increase their market share and differentiate from competitors.

: based on who cares, who does report it highlighted that Filipino shoppers
are making significant strides to become more responsible consumers. In fact,
75% of Filipinos are actively seeking out brands that offer ways to offset their
impact to the environment.

companies that demonstrate a commitment to a more sustainable future.

associate your brand with positive change and responsible stewardship of the
planet.

practices., including fair labor conditions, ethical sourcing of materials, and
investing in the communities where you operate. By integrating these
