Many businesses run the danger of lagging behind in terms of operations and sales. The time that is consuming, perplexing and prone to mistakes, agreement with frameworks such as PPN 06/21 and SECR may result in missed bids, unsuccessful audits, or harm to one's reputation.

A sustainability initiative consequently fails in splitting off or falls short of corporate goals.
