“(ROS) Return on Sustainability: Gaining Benefits from a Comprehensive Sustainability Strategy”

(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) Chicago, IL - February 24, 2010 - As companies strive to improve financial performance, developing and integrating a coherent sustainability strategy, and a systematic way of managing social and environmental impacts, often becomes the greatest challenge. Admittedly it is not easy to move from developing a partial system that deals with the preliminary Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) problems and performance indicators, to using an integrated program that includes sustainability in day-to-day decision-making. 

Since sustainability is fundamentally complex due to its nature (and the unclear direct link to profit), implementing and integrating sustainability strategies thoroughly has proven more difficult and tricky than any other improvements. 

Join the Centre for Sustainability and Excellence (CSE) and its partners as we discuss creating a Structured Sustainability Strategy and how to monitor it to measure the “Return on Sustainability" of your Strategy. Hear from other Chicago based businesses the challenges and opportunities that they face in implementing Sustainability into their operations. No Fee is required to participate.
