Volume 10, issue 2, Summer 2008
Management today faces rigorous pressure and all eyes are focused on current economic conditions. In recent years, there has been a reaction to changing rules and regulations, to a dynamic competitive landscape and most recently, to the credit and housing market dislocations. While some industry participants have invested in developing their sustainability programs, others have not or are just starting to think about the issue. Given today's and future challenges there may never be a perfect time to rank sustainability as the top concern.
