At BSR, we believe the time has come for a completely new way of designing business strategy and creating value. The era of stand-alone sustainability strategies, with subsequent integration of sustainability into company strategy, needs to end; the creation of resilient business strategies that take sustainability as their foundation needs to begin. But for that to happen, boards and senior executives must have the expertise, insights and information necessary to plan for a sustainable future over the long term.

In BSR and Globe scan’s 2017 survey of 250 companies on the state of sustainable business, we found that while 90 percent of respondents believe the CEO and C-suite leadership have significant influence over the sustainability agenda, only 40 percent of sustainability teams prioritize engagement with the CEO’s office.
