BSR Insight | The State of Sustainable Business
For a snapshot on the state of sustainable business, take a look at our brief report from the BSR/GlobeScan survey of nearly 300 business leaders at the BSR Conference 2009. Highlights include:
- Climate change tops the list of "very significant" priorities in the next 12 months, followed by human rights and workers' rights. (See graphic below)
- Companies should take two key actions to rebuild the public's trust in business: demonstrate positive social and environmental impacts and innovate for sustainability.
- Those surveyed are increasingly optimistic that sustainability will be a core part of business strategy in the years ahead.
- Nearly nine out of ten people said their companies’ sustainability budgets would stay the same or increase next year.
- Most companies either measure the ROI of sustainability efforts or plan to do so soon.
