Is corporate sustainability dead?

"We achieved B Corp certification last year for our Philadelphia location, which was a culmination of 15 months of work to improve every aspect of our business to align with positive environmental and social impact. In that process, we developed clear metrics and measurement methodologies around waste and emissions reduction and codified community engagement initiatives."

"Engage for Good's annual conference is our biggest event and we've tried to make sustainability a series of practical choices rather than a slogan. We've moved away from printed agendas in favor of digital materials through our event app, encouraged speakers to share resources electronically, and worked with venues that prioritize water conservation and other sustainability efforts."

"Our company was founded 75 years ago on a commitment to be forever 100% PVC-free. So in many ways there's been no change internally, as we continue to champion more sustainable practices as the foundation of who we are. What has changed is our external approach."

Corporate sustainability initiatives are continuing to grow, even as they become less visible due to greenhushing. Leaders from various companies shared their evolving approaches to sustainability over the past year. Efforts include achieving B Corp certification, making conferences more sustainable through digital materials and vegetarian options, and maintaining a long-standing commitment to PVC-free practices while enhancing external collaboration to raise awareness about sustainability in the built environment.
