Analyzing and Implementing Sustainability

Editor's Notes

  1. Here is a sample – modified to remove any specifics for the company – of a strategic plan…
  2. For each of the sections, you can develop a metric of what activities you can engage in each of the elements that make up the plan.
  3. Bertrand Collomb, Global Agenda Magazine in 2003: “ A very one-dimensional view of business, with considerable importance given to short-term value creation as measured by immediate stock market performance. The crisis of 2001-2002 showed the limits and the excesses of this approach. Markets do not always give an accurate forecast of the economic and business situation. Long-term shareholder value requires a stakeholder approach. This crisis, which we are still experiencing, highlights the inconsistencies between short-term shareholder value and true stakeholder value. It has made civil society and companies even more aware that sustainable development is the only way for a company to thrive in the long run. Companies have to take into account their impact on the societies in which they operate and the environment that surrounds them.”
