Corporate Sustainability Management: Best Practices

Sustainable business practices can open up new markets and improve a company's reputation. In this way, leaders in corporate sustainability are securing a unique competitive advantage. In fact, a recent article in Harvard Business Review claimed, "In the future, only companies that make sustainability a goal will achieve competitive advantage." Even the Great Recession has not slowed down the push for sustainability in most companies. A recent survey found that more than 75 percent of respondents had kept their commitments to corporate sustainability during the downturn.
