The sustainability imperative: the new IT megatrend?

A recent article in the Harvard Business Review entitled "The Sustainability Imperative" caught my attention" review caught my attention. This is mostly due to the title, which promised to firm-up the business case for sustainability.

What I found was indeed helpful in that respect, but also surprisingly prophetic in it's assertion that sustainability is equivalent in its business impacts to the information technology revolution, electrification, mass production and globalization in their respective eras:  a "megatrend" that is already, and will continue to define the way companies do business.

Future directions for sustainability reporting

After ten years of sustained growth that made the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) the world standard in sustainability reporting guidelines, the number of new companies reporting is falling off.  As Mehrdad Nazari, an experience sustainability reporter points out in a recent blog, reporting may have hit a glass ceiling.
