Top Seven Sustainability Practices:
the Sum > the Parts
12 pages / January 2010
SDialogue’s new report on the top sustainability practices:
- identifies the top seven practices every organization should be considering;
- explains how they work together; and
- explores how organizations can use these practices to thrive in the years ahead.
This paper is a great snapshot of leading sustainability activities and CSR planning, and is especially valuable to boards, C-level execs, green teams/committees, and those who have only a few years or less in the field.
“An excellent introduction to the seven essential strategies of CSR.“
– Jacquelyn Ottman, consultant and author of Green Marketing: Opportunity for Innovation
As companies face markets that are being reshaped by intense global competitiveness, changing customer demands, and increased regulation and transparency, operating without sustainability initiatives will leave many at a disadvantage.
Yet, most organizations have never engaged with all of their stakeholders in a systemic way, set up a sustainability management system, or compiled a sustainability report.
SDialogue’s paper takes a complex, rapidly evolving field and puts it in a digestible order every practioner will find useful in their planning and implementation efforts.
"~ 85% of consumers had no idea that companies (e.g., HP, Intel, Cisco, Unilever) were participating in any sustainability practices (in reality, these companies are among the leaders in sustainability)"
