Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Environmental Leader posted a good article this morning about the world’s new corporate sustainabilty leaders, as identified by the Dow Jones Sustainability. What is corporate sustainability? It is strategic decisionmaking which considers the environmental, economic and social impact of a business decision, with a view towards making strategic decisions that are sustainable for the long-term.
