If you can make it to the DC area on September 14 and 15 and you are working in, or hope to gain a foothold in, the field of sustainability and CSR, then you should sign up for the Accredited Sustainability (CSR) Practitioner Workshop workshop hosted by the Centre for Sustainability and Excellence (CSE).]]>

Call us biased but, at SSC, we’ve always believed that sustainability would become a key profit driver and component of business strategy within the global economy. Whenever that notion is backed up with some good, hard facts, we just have to share! GreenBiz.com recently published survey results pertaining to the forecast of the green economy. Good news! The future is bright.
]]>Ever heard of the phrase “random acts of greenness”? If you have, you know it’s not a good thing! “Random acts of greenness” are haphazardly employed sustainability initiatives that bear no clear link to each other or an organization’s overall strategy.
