Managing for Sustainability

Managing for sustainability is an Economist Intelligence Unit report that discusses why firms are embracing sustainable practices, how companies are embedding corporate social responsibility into their businesses, and how they are gauging and reporting their success.

The research, which was sponsored by ENEL, is based on a survey of over 200 senior executives in the areas of sustainability, corporate social responsibility and finance, as well as ten in-depth interviews with corporate executives, academics and industry experts.

The research examines the ways that companies are embedding sustainability across the enterprise; how firms are involving their supply chains in the effort; how management is measuring progress towards sustainability goals; and how companies are presenting progress to outside stakeholders.
