Sustainability is evolving to focus much more on the benefits companies bring to society even as they reduce their impacts. There is significant potential to accelerate this movement so that more companies make net positive and other benefits-focused commitments.
A number of organizations are driving this issue forward, but additional alignment is needed to avoid fragmentation and increase scale and impact. BSR, Forum for the Future, and the Sustainability and Health Initiative for NetPositive Enterprise at Harvard University, will gather companies and partners to identify opportunities for greater alignment and possible joint action to accelerate and scale our collective impact. This event is supported by Dell.
Sustainability governance helps a company implement sustainability strategy across the business, manage goal-setting and reporting processes, strengthen relations with external stakeholders, and ensure overall accountability. It’s important to keep in mind that there is no cookie-cutter structure that can be applied; every company must tailor its approach for what makes most sense given its business model, structure, resources, and level of sustainability integration into the business.
The ninth annual BSR/GlobeScan State of Sustainable Business Survey provides insights into the world of sustainable business and aims to identify common perceptions and practices of corporate sustainability professionals.
