  • Green Business Assessment - The link between environmental and company performance

    Philip Thormark, ÅF AB
    André Månsson, Lund University

    Over the years the general attitude towards environmental management has shifted. From a reactive stance, in which accidents and release of pollutions were at the center stage, to a proactive one in which environmental performance is sometimes regarded as a vital factor for the success of the company.

  • Evidence-based Standards for Reporting on Materiality

    Elaine Cohen, Beyond Business Ltd

    Materiality assessment concerning corporate sustainability disclosures is still difficult. The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) offers evidence-based standards for reporting on materiality. “The SASB aims to become the future of both financial and sustainability disclosure, providing guidance for the missing link through a set of material indicators by sector and voluntary disclosure, which no self-respecting voluntary corporate reporter will be able to avoid referencing and which no 'reasonable investor' will be willing to overlook," writes Elaine Cohen in CSRWire.  more[...]

  • Corporate Social Responsibility in China: Outlook and Challenges

    Dr. Susan Scarlata, Weber Shandwick & Others

    I spent the last two years in Hong Kong where I consulted on Corporate Social Responsibility communications projects for various organizations in Hong Kong and mainland China. What is the current state of Corporate Responsibility there? The short answer is that Chinese companies realize they have greater responsibilities as their presence on the global playing field grows.

    Lila Buckley, International Institute for Environment and Development
