Sustainability: What It Is and How to Measure It begins with a
succinct business-focused summary of how to think about the risks and
opportunities associated with sustainability. The author then includes
his proprietary framework, The Corporate Sustainability
ScorecardTM C-suite rating system, including the over 140
key sustainability indicators that are used to rate an organization's
sustainability efforts. Each KSI includes examples from organizations
around the world, giving the reader a complete and unbiased
understanding of all aspects of sustainability. The Scorecard has been
developed over the past 20 years and used by more than 70 corporations
to rate themselves on sustainability.
Gilbert S. Hedstrom illustrates the use of the Scorecard with hundreds
of examples. He discusses sustainability transformation, governance, and
strategy and execution. Social responsibility and environmental
stewardship form important parts of his discourse in this important
contribution to the debate on sustainability that will benefit business
executives and those interested in sustainability and business.
