  • Corporate Sustainability Plan
    CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN October 24, 2011 CITY OF CAMBRIDGE CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN OCTOBER 2011 WELCOME LETTER AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Welcome to a new style of planning and decision making at the Corporation of the City of Cambridge. We are a Corporation that embraces the four pillars of sustainability: cultural, economic, environmental and social. Our first Corporate Sustainability Plan (CSP) represents an opportunity to integrate the four pillars of sustainability into our day-to-day work and our long term planning. This Plan builds on a wide range of initiatives, plans and programs that the City offers our residents. From valued recreation programming to ongoing maintenance of our storm water management system, the City manages a host of programs. As other cities in Ontario, we recognize that these plans and programs require dedicated, ongoing operational and maintenance funding. As such, we have developed a Plan for our Corporation that sustainably addresses our existing commitments through our Master Plans and Strategic Plans. A three year action plan is included in this document as well as a number of tools that our staff will use to embed sustainability into our decision-making, budgeting and planning cycles. Thank you to our interested residents, Advisory Committee members and City staff who provided valuable input to strengthen this Plan. I encourage you to share additional ideas as we move forward together in an era of prudent, thoughtful planning and decision-making, We look forward to using this Plan as a guide, helping us to build on our community’s legacy of sustainability initiatives to create a strong, vibrant, and sustainable city for future generations.

  • Corporate Sustainability and the Individual
    ~ CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY AND THE INDIVIDUAL ~ Understanding What Drives Sustainability Professionals as Change Agents Wayne Visser & Andrew Crane, SSRN Paper Series, No. 1, 2010 CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY AND THE INDIVIDUAL Understanding What Drives Sustainability Professionals as Change Agents By Wayne Visser and Andrew Crane Abstract This paper looks at what motivates sustainability managers to devote their time and energies to addressing social, environmental and ethical issues. It is rooted in the literature on the role of individuals as change agents for corporate sustainability, in particular in their capacity as environmental or social ‘champions’. The paper presents in-depth research among sustainability managers, providing a rich, nuanced understanding of different types of sustainability change agents. It identifies four such types – Experts, Facilitators, Catalysts and Activists – and uncovers the pivotal role of values, inspiration, expertise, empowerment, strategic thinking and social contribution as sources of meaning for these purpose-inspired managers. The findings deepen our understanding of the psychological dimensions of corporate sustainability management, and provide a useful tool for improving individual and team performance, enhancing recruitment and retention of sustainability talent, and developing more effective organisational leadership for sustainability. Keywords corporate social responsibility, corporate sustainability, change agents, environmental champions, meaning in life, psychology, sustainability managers,

  • Toward an Organizational Theory of Sustainability Vision
    sustainability Review Toward an Organizational Theory of Sustainability Vision Sooksan Kantabutra Center for Research on Sustainable Leadership and ASEAN Centre for Sustainable Development Studies and Dialogue, College of Management, Mahidol University, Bangkok 10400, Thailand; [email protected] Received: 2 December 2019; Accepted: 4 February 2020; Published: 5 February 2020 Abstract: While vision is considered as the starting point for any transformation process toward sustainability, little is known about how such a vision looks. To fill in a fundamental gap in the corporate sustainability literature, the present study advances a theory of organizational vision into a coherent theory of sustainability vision. It adopts the theory-building approaches of covering-law, enlightenment, and process by comparing and contrasting a diverse set of relevant plausible, logical, empirical, and/or epistemological conjectures so that highlighting occurs to form the substance of the refined theory. The resulting theory of sustainability vision asserts that effective sustainability visions are characterized by the seven attributes of brevity, clarity, future orientation, stability, challenge, abstractness, desirability or ability to inspire and one imagery of stakeholder satisfaction. Relevant propositions and a model are introduced for future research, followed by practical implications. Keywords: corporate sustainability; sustainability theory; sustainability; vision; sustainable business; organizational culture 1. Introduction “Vision” is equated to corporate pitch to convey enduring values and lasting purpose [1] in a pithy and effective way. It guides organizational members to emphasize what really matters to them and their stakeholders [2] in their journey toward transforming vision ideas into action. In addition, formulating a corporate sustainability strategy should follow a sustainability vision [3] in which the focus is not on maximizing short-term wealth or well-being for oneself or a single organization, but for a wide range of stakeholders.

The drivers and obstacles for the businesses engaging in sustainable policies have been explored at large by scientific literature. However, research gaps were observed, namely regarding SMEs, that tend to have a less formal and more fragmented approach to sustainability. The goal of our study is to determine the main barriers and facilitators for sustainability that Romanian SMEs face, and the connections between them and with the firms’ characteristics. Our study identifies the main barriers and facilitators for adopting sustainable practices in SMEs located in Romania, based on a study on a panel of 71 firms.
