SUSTAINABILITY: THE NEW C-LEVEL ASSIGNMENT
Here’s what a July 2007 New York Times article says about the rise of C-level sustainable executives at the world’s leading corporations: “These are not simply environmental watchdogs, there to keep operations safe and regulators at bay. The new environmental chiefs are helping companies profit from the push to go green.”
Many employers have evolved beyond relegating sustainability to green reporting and compliance issues handled by investor relations and public affairs. In this new era, a new class of Chief Sustainability Officers focuses attention on innovation, design and process improvements and profits.
