BSR Sustainability Conference Summary- November 2010
Highlights
- Sustainability ratings need fewer indicators even if those indicators are both qualitative and quantitative. At the end of the day, a few specific qualitative indicators can be of greater value than a raft of quantitative indicators.
- A lack of transparency of how indicators are measured prevents companies from taking steps to react to their scores and improve their sustainability practices.
- Thought leaders, corporations, NGOs, investment firms, and rating companies must combine efforts to determine a coherent and relevant set of indicators that can be globally adopted.
