Sustainable Business Agenda: Moving from CSR Director to Chief Sustainability Officer
Companies are increasingly required to progress from an approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) that focuses on purely reputation management, to a response that integrates sustainability concerns into mainstream business operations. This emerging business agenda is placing new demands on existing management roles and requiring the development of new skills and competencies.
The challenges raised as traditional CSR practitioners grapple with the impact of social and environmental trends on the markets their companies do business in, and the growing barrage of environmental and other corporate responsibility legislation – means that the capacity for a more integrated and strategic approach to CSR is required, now more than ever before.
David Metcalfe, CEO and a founding director of business research company, Verdantix presented their latest research on the requirements now being placed on the role of the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO).
