Located in the fastest growth corridor in Australia, Logan City's goal is to be recognized as a leader in Sustainable Thinking, Sustainable Development, and Sustainable Outcomes - In fact Sustainability is now at the core in all that we do to encourage business growth.
Being a sustainable business means; embracing three key ingredients as they are critical to achieving sustainable long term business outcomes. This is often referred to as the Triple bottom line - Social, Environment and Economic or; People, Planet and Profit. As the world is now witnessing, pursuing one above the other can only lead to catastrophic consequences.
The mission of the Logan Office of Economic Development is to assist and collaboratively work with our local business community to drive new sustainably focussed initiatives and outcomes. This includes, demystifying the complexity or the myriad rules surrounding, carbon emissions, and the proposed carbon trading scheme, providing sustainable business guidance through one on one meetings or workshops and liaising with the numerous State and Federal business assistance schemes to secure funding and provide access to sustainable business expertise, coaching and mentoring initiatives. For example LOED, Logan City Council and ecoBiz Queensland are currently working with enterprises in Logan City (like Springwood Tower Hotel), who are adopting sustainable best practice into their business operations.
