BSR Insight Article: Climate 2.0: What Is Expected of Business Now?
Ryan Schuchard, Manager, Climate and Energy
Business at large has only recently awakened to climate change—really just within the last 10 years. It started slowly, following the 1997 adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, and then it picked up speed after the development of industry-accepted greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring and reporting standards such as 2001's GHG Protocol and 2003's Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

BSR Insight Article: Giving Business a Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions
Julia Robinson, Communications Associate
Government pledges and roadmaps might reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 3 to 6 gigatons, but a significant gap—around 6 to 9 gigatons—remains to keep global warming below 2°C by 2020, which is the accepted threshold to avoid high-risk climate change. Read more

BSR Insight Article: Open for Business: The ‘Four Cs’ of Integrated Strategy
Mark Little, Director, Healthcare, Advisory Services David Korngold, Manager, Advisory Services
Surveying the tumult of global business and the consternation of society, it is tempting to stand astride the corporate ramparts and declare, "The corporation is dead … long live the corporation!" Old models of doing business are being deposed while new models are ascendant. Powerful trends are converging to create profound implications for sustainability and corporate strategies. These forces include market dynamics, such as accelerating innovation cycles, disruptive technologies, emerging markets, value chain complexity, and regulatory and voluntary standards; sustainability dynamics, such as climate change, demographic shifts, and resource constraints; and stakeholder dynamics, such as the growing engagement of consumers, NGOs, and regulators. At the nexus of these trends, integrated corporate strategies address both sustainability challenges and rapidly changing market conditions to generate business value. Based on BSR's 20 years of developing such integrated strategies for dozens of companies and in collaboration with a panoply of stakeholders, we have created the "Four Cs" to help companies build integrated strategies by looking at customers, competitors, the corporation, and civil society and government.
