Corporate Sustainability Leadership: The Journey
Smart business leaders understand that a thriving economy depends on a thriving environment, and vice versa. The myth of an “either/or” tradeoff between sustainability and profitability no longer exists – a fact with which your customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and potential investors are well aware. Now, more than ever, the world is your business.
But, while the ROI of corporate sustainability has long been proven, moving down the pathway towards leadership – where your company’s business goals and sustainability goals are in perfect alignment – can be challenging.
Understanding where your company stands on this pathway can help you prioritize where you focus your efforts, so that you can move forward more quickly and efficiently. We’ve broken the journey into three stages: Engage, Execute and Lead.
