The Sustainability Handbook
The effects of the worldwide economic downturn, coupled with environmental degradation and social instability, are not conducive to successful business. As a prime culprit in creating these challenges, corporates have a pivotal role to play in seeking out solutions. This, the sixth edition of The Sustainability Handbook explores the sustainability challenge and articulates a clear business case for responsible corporate action. An overview of the King 111 Code on Good Corporate Governance highlights the rational for integrating sustainability with core business strategy and reporting.
You can find a detailed outline of the sustainability issues that are relevant to South African businesses, presented in an easily-digestible format. Adding to these, are a series of Sustainability Profiles, illustrating corporate responses to a range of critical sustainability issues.
These days, the way companies behave towards a wider set of stakeholders, in respect of a much broader set of social and environmental issues, now has a direct bearing on their corporate reputation. In response, Trialogue and Media Tenor have launched an exciting new benchmark, the Media Sustainability Index (MSI), presented in this edition. The MSI ranks companies that had the most media coverage on sustainability issues in 2008, based on volume, spread and tone of their coverage.
