Apologies for cross-posting
Dear SIM colleagues,
The Network for Business Sustainability released a report today describing the top sustainability challenges facing business in 2010. These challenges were identified and prioritized by a council of organizations leading sustainability (see members).
The top seven challenges facing businesses in 2010 are:
- How can we measure and value a firm's ecological impacts (i.e. its ecological footprint)?
- How can we build an enduring corporate culture of sustainability?
- How can we promote and ensure sustainability within our supply chains?
- How can we incorporate sustainability into employee incentives?
- What business risks are associated with water quality and water shortage?
- What is the aboriginal perspective on business sustainability, and what are the best approaches for constructively engaging aboriginal communities?
- How do we measure the economic impact of NIMBY ("not in my backyard")-ism?
A report describing each challenge is available at www.nbs.net. We hope it galvanizes researchers to study the questions posed by industry, and inspires industry and funding agencies to support these efforts.
Please let me know if you are interested in undertaking research on any of the report's priorities.
Sincerely,
Tom
