Sustainability initiatives create value through innovation.
Sustainability–and other Corporate Social Responsibility strategies–are everyone’s business in the 21st century.
All enterprises—from companies to NGOs to government agencies—are now accountable for aligning values–from a wide array of stakeholders–and value. In the 21st century it’s mission critical.
A recent study by the MIT Sloan Management Review and The Boston Consulting Group found that the vast majority of corporate executives recognize that sustainability-related issues will have a significant impact on their enterprises–but more than 70% report that their companies have not yet made sustainability a part of their core strategy.
And yet… the study also revealed that more than two-thirds of executives with sustainability expertise achieved improved financial returns.
Our Sustainability Approach has three parts: remediation for past actions; benchmarking for current best practices; innovation for future value creation and leadership.
Such innovation can include clean tech–to identify and seize new efficiencies, create new value in your core business, or deepen relationships with stakeholders.
Our CSR Approach applies the same principles of stakeholder engagement in other areas. Though they may seem separate from the point of view of an organization looking out, they are all part of the values of your diverse stakeholders.
Our Governance Approach engages James Strock and other experts with extensive experience as principals and advisors for private, public and not-for-profit enterprises, in the United States and abroad.
