Sustainable Business Practices and Ethics with Shelby Parsons
More customers are watching how companies behave, not just what they sell.A recent global study found that 64 percent of consumers rank sustainability as a top factor in their buying decisions, and a majority say they are more likely to stay loyal to brands that act responsibly toward people and the planet.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we sit down with Shelby Parsons, COO of Premier Inspection Services, to explore what sustainable business practices and ethics look like in the real world of construction, inspections, and community infrastructure.
Shelby shares powerful insights on:
• How sustainability and ethics show up in everyday decisions, not just annual reports
• Systems that help protect safety, integrity, and trust across complex projects
• Whether empathy and purpose can truly scale in regulated, high-stakes industries
• Practical ways leaders can raise the bar on responsibility without stalling growth
