This report describes the key areas where
businesses have requested better knowledge.
The issues have been identified by a council
of managers from leading organizations across
major sectors of the economy.
The purpose of this report is to inspire new research in these issues. Armed with this knowledge, researchers, managers and others can collaborate to innovate new solutions.
According to the report, 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?
