The Ceres Roadmap for Sustainability
The race is on to establish a low-carbon sustainable global economy and the competition is fierce.
Ceres released the 21st Century Corporation: The Ceres Roadmap to Sustainability (pdf) as a vision and practical roadmap for integrating sustainability into the DNA of business—from the boardroom to the copy room. It analyzes the drivers, risks and opportunities involved in making the shift to sustainability, and details strategies and results from companies who are taking on these challenges.
The Ceres Roadmap is designed to provide a comprehensive platform for sustainable business
strategy and for accelerating best practices and performance.
Corporate Progress on The Ceres Roadmap
In 2012, two years after the release of The Ceres Roadmap framework, Ceres and Sustainalytics launched a new report assessing how U.S. businesses stand on sustainable business performance and specifically across four key areas: governance, stakeholder engagement, disclosure and performance.
The Road to 2020: Corporate Progress on The Ceres Roadmapfor Sustainability evaluates if and how 600 of the largest U.S. companies are meeting the expectations outlined in The Ceres Roadmap. The report allows companies to assess how they are performing against their peers and to see what businesses are doing across economic sectors.
This web report features analysis of corporate
performance across The Ceres Roadmap expectations, interactive charts and graphs, as well as sector-specific analyses. The web platform also features case studies, videos, blogs and resources to provide both companies and investors the tools they need to make the shift to a more sustainable economy.
Our conclusion? Companies are moving, albeit too slowly, given the urgency of the sustainability challenges we face. This transformation will require boldness, innovation and perseverance; and the companies that make this switch will be best positioned to drive solutions to these 21st century challenges.
