GLOBAL BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY SERVICE
A change has taken hold in the IT industry: Whereas companies once focused mainly on compliance with environmental regulation, many are now actively positioning themselves as models of sustainability and purveyors of green technology. And while many companies in the IT industry are working to adopt socially responsible policies and lessen their carbon footprints, quantifying the business benefits of these actions is not easy. Moreover, the level of disclosure surrounding such activities varies widely, making it difficult to determine how a company actually fares in relation to the industry. But despite the publicity benefits, what is the overall effect of this shift?
TBR’s newest offering – our Global Business Sustainability Service – sheds light on this largely untapped new measure of corporate value. Providing insight on innovation and leadership in the areas of environmentalism and corporate social responsibility, the service includes 20 packets of 3 analyses annually spotlighting the most recent corporate initiatives, products and services, trends and regulatory policies affecting the industry. Additionally, TBR has assembled an exceptionally comprehensive benchmarking system to objectively measure companies against their peers. The new benchmark tracks the performance of more than 30 companies, scoring them on more than 100 metrics related to environmental impact and corporate social responsibility – examining such categories as energy, recycling, toxins management, and firm transparency.
The core results of this service will identify how an individual company’s commitment to making customers operate more sustainably, as well as the company’s products, actions and policies and those of its supply chain, translate to corporate value.
