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.
BSR President and CEO Aron Cramer discusses major themes shaping the year ahead: net zero, climate action and social justice, attention on ESG, board role redefinition, and the business voice on the "great fragmentation."
