Several initiatives focussed on identifying, measuring and quantifying entirely new forms of business risk and value were announced by the Sustainable Brands community at New Metrics ’15 in Boston, MA.
To collaborate on leading edge corporate practices and performance indicators that quantify environmental and social impacts and tie them to financial value, over 300 global senior executives across diverse industry sectors convened recently.
Critical insight into the key business metrics that are informing next generation goals will be discussed and debated by more than 60 influential speakers. Innovative measurement tools, breakthrough research methods, informative case studies and advanced frameworks would be featured in the event, including conversations on new ways to measure the ROI of sustainability, quantify employee engagement and performance, measure shared value and impact along the supply chain and benchmark ESG performance ratings/rankings.
KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz, Founder and CEO of Sustainable Brands said that they had seen tremendous growth in the advancement of new business performance metrics within the SB community over the years. The translation of previously ignored environmental and social impacts into corporate financial performance indicators, the spread of goal-setting methodologies and the proliferation of innovative tools had all elevated the discussion to an extent where an accelerated shift to new norms could be seen, she added.
