The BSR Report 2009 covers one of the most tumultuous years in the global economy since BSR was founded in 1992.

Given this complex operating environment, the Report points the way forward with four steps for companies to succeed—from taking the lead in shaping new business models to investing in sustainable consumption. Our Report also includes case studies from our consulting and grants work, as well as highlights from BSR's research, Conference, and membership.

The principles we state here will guide our actions in 2010. We hope this year's Report also provides perspectives that you can apply over the year to come so that, together, we can innovate for a more sustainable world.
