Corporate sustainability as a business practice is one of the fastest growing areas for CEOs. Environmentally aware customers, partners, and employees are now an integral part of the corporate value chain and are driving organizations to focus more on environmental and social issues.
Many corporations today view corporate sustainability as an opportunity and not an obligation. An opportunity to introduce new products and services, create new revenue streams, reduce costs, retain and attract new employees. Companies who derive business value from sustainability initiatives are ones that can successfully execute them as business transformation efforts.
