Conducting Sustainability Research for Organizations

Identifying Organizations with Sustainability Strategies

1.Conduct exploratory research and identify three (3) organizations with sustainability strategies.
You may wish to focus on organizations that you are interested in working for.
Be sure to select organizations of varying size, geographic location, etc.
List the organizations in a table, similar to the one included in Appendix A.
2.For each organization identified above, conduct in-depth research to identify:
Three (3) distinct Events that occurred in the environment that would have caused the businesses to consider implementing a sustainability solution.

And, for each event, what were the Business Drivers (motivators) for business sustainability?

or example, Interface is an example of an organization that has attracted and retained top talent, created new markets and reduced operational expenses due to their sustainability strategy. List each of the three drivers (motivators) on your table (Example in Appendix A).

While some of the drivers among organizations may be the same, be sure to provide at least one unique driver per organization.

3.There is now a total of 9 drivers in your table (3 organizations x 3 drivers per).

For each of these drivers provide one reputable resource for information, in APA format. Do not use the organizations website or related publications, as this information may be bias.

4.Select one organization, listed in your chart, to profile in greater detail.
Provide a  explanation detailing the three drivers (motivators) for sustainability and how this approach has improved their triple bottom line performance.
