Institute for Enterprise Ethics
Enterprise Social Responsibility & Sustainability
Value Creation and the Promise of Sustainable Development
Enterprise social responsibility represents one way an enterprise can align organizational
self-interest with the greater public good. Recently the business case for sustainability
has continued to grow and enterprise leaders have begun to see the connection between
sustaining the planet and sustaining the enterprise. The Institute for Enterprise
Ethics' focus on Social Responsibility and Sustainability is engaged with topics and
issues that will help the enterprise strike the appropriate balance between these
interests and will engage practitioners, academics and other though leaders on practical
topics of sustainable value such as:
- Shareholder return
- Social investment
- Community outreach
- Safety and health
- Climate change
- Waste and emissions
- Resource efficiency
- Life cycle costing
- Regulatory compliance
