Sustainability will play an increasing role in organizations’ financial and operational performance, according to Gartner, Inc. By 2015, improving sustainability related performance will become a top five priority for 60 percent of major Western European and North American CEOs.
Gartner analysts said sustainability is no longer primarily about risk mitigation, focused on compliance, reputation, philanthropy, the “triple bottom line” and being seen as doing good things. In practical terms, for most enterprises today, the value in sustainability is actually derived from operational efficiency and business enablement.
