The investment community is increasingly favorable towards the companies they see as pursuing effective corporate responsibility and sustainability programs

The impact is marked and the benefits considerable – contributing nearly 3% of shareholder value across the S&P, up to 10% in those that take it and manage it strategically

The challenge is to take the case to the communications professionals and ensure a suitably integrated messaging strategy.

In sum...the business case for sustainability is now even stronger
