While many leading companies have improved their approach to social and environmental performance, their impacts are inherently limited and there are many more laggards. We tackle the issue of how companies can achieve scale and far-reaching impact through wider improvements in performance across their sector, value chains and via public policy.
Influencing Power: Reviewing the conduct and content of corporate lobbying - our joint publication with WWF UK - ranks the world's top 100 companies on the transparency of their lobbying activities and whether it demonstrates support for their public statement on corporate responsibility.
It also examines the potential for leading companies to help drive stronger social and environmental policy frameworks in support of core business activities.
Gearing Up: From Corporate Responsibility to Good Governance and Scalable Solutions is SustainAbility’s response to a request from the UN Global Compact to evaluate the potential for corporate responsibility initiatives to stimulate a transition to more sustainable forms of development by linking to wider policy frameworks.
The Janus Program explores the nature and implications of corporate influence on the politics and policy of sustainable development.
