According to a recent study, only 10% of all businesses reported growth over the last 13 years.  With growth now on the minds of many going into 2011, whose office will the boss be visiting this year? 

In 2011, we believe executives will seek to refine their sustainable business strategies, improve internal and external communication, and promote greater employee engagement  towards business and operational growth.  Whether led by a sustainability executive or traditional management, the 2011 business sustainability team will receive greater executive attention in several key areas:   •    Supply Chain and Procurement: these key interfaces will implement new sources of supply or work with current suppliers to incorporate sustainability concepts that improve operations.  Procurement will play a role in coordinating sustainable purchasing practices to ensure material flow to support growth strategies.    •    Environmental, Health, and Safety: these key interfaces with the company’s operations will establish, implement, measure and report on the company’s sustainability policies.    •    Sales and Marketing: these key interfaces with the company’s customers represent the face of business sustainability and will communicate the organizations values and commitment to sustainability.  Click here to continue reading.
