Sustainability, Transparency, and Metrics in Business
In a world of hyper-transparency, citizen personal power and an exploding population straining limited resources, it is more important than ever for business to adopt new behaviors to build trusted relationships.
Communications experts from Edelman, the IPCC, and Patagonia and Yale discussed behaviors scientists and business leaders can adopt to improve public trust, strengthen institutions, and improve sustainability.
We considered opportunities and obstacles of environmental transparency in business and government, and how tools like the Edelman Trust Barometer and Yale's Environmental Performance Index are making an impact.
