  • Market broadening: Expands reach to a diverse and

global population

  • Compatibility with other business goals: Creates a

unique customer/end user experience

  • Relative advantage: Increases competitiveness
  • Investing in social capital: Goodwill to community =

social branding opportunity

  • Reducing operating costs: Attracts and retains

workforce, lower accident rates, lower health care and renovation costs; consider life cycle costs

  • Increased productivity: Reduces burden of customer

assistance, minimize absenteeism, facilitates customer service, reduces errors
