Passion isn’t enough to create a more sustainable world. The metrics of corporate sustainability must change. We need to better define sustainability in a holistic way that goes well beyond simply reducing waste, water and energy. The goal of corporate sustainability must be broadened to include improvements in labour practices, reductions in supply chain toxicity, protection of biodiversity and innovation that leads to cradle to cradle solutions.
Join us on April 4th as Dr. Feltmate shares a cutting edge Sustainable Development Index (SDI) that will soon become the standard that progressive companies use to set goals and drive new behaviours towards greater sustainable performance.
During the event you will learn:
- What the future holds for the way that companies measure and report their sustainability performance
- How to instantly understand and explain your sustainability performance
- Why you are improving or falling behind on your environmental, social or economic performance
- How truly transparent reporting will transform entire sectors
- Concrete techniques to define and apply an SDI using a specific case study example
