The National Association for Environmental Management (NAEM) has issued a trends report, "Planning for a Sustainable Future" that highlights several areas that leading companies and thinkers in sustainability are adopting:
• Integration: embed sustainability into all levels of the organization.
• Engagement: internal and external stakeholders.
• Transparency: "...a business management norm in the age of sustainability. It even has become a business driver in and of itself, particularly for product stewardship initiatives and for suppliers with a business-to-business orientation."
• Collaboration: working both within and outside a company to solve challenges
• Resilience: It's the new buzz. See my recent post
