Top Seven Sustainability Practices Highlighted in Special Report

(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) KINGSTON, N.Y. - SDialogue released a special report today that helps organizations improve their sustainability efforts by employing seven best practices corporate social responsibility (CSR) leaders use. The report, titled Top Seven Sustainability Practices: the Sum > the Parts, offers companies and other organizations a primer into sustainability communications via a systemic approach.  

The seven best practices include setting sustainability goals and metrics, identifying and engaging stakeholders, integrating sustainability into a brand, and sustainability/CSR reporting, among others. The report offers insights into the role of social media, stakeholder engagement from a sustainability perspective, and how sustainability/CSR reports can help build trust, among many others. 

"This special report will give organizations a better understanding of these processes and best practices, how they work together and how they can help organizations improve their sustainability efforts," said Perry Goldschein, author of the report and principal at SDialogue LLC, a leading sustainability communications firm. "These seven best practices have been employed by other companies, transforming them into CSR leaders."  

Goldschein said that sustainability can tap new markets, retain customers and build revenue while also improving a company's ability to recruit and retain workers. "Yet, most organizations are not using the tools readily available to them to engage in and maximize their sustainability efforts," Goldschein noted in the report. "Many have never engaged with all of their stakeholders in a systemic way, set up a sustainability management system, or compiled a sustainability report."  

What others are saying about this report: 

"An excellent introduction to the seven essential strategies of CSR." - Jacquie Ottman, founder and principal at J. Ottman Consulting and author of Green Marketing 

"Great ideas for those involved with overseeing sustainability efforts." - Shari Aaron, Sustainability and Market Research Expert, and author of Climb the Green Ladder
