The Corporate Sustainability Project aims to generate a cross-disciplinary understanding of how corporations can develop the skills, approaches and tools needed to better integrate environmental and social performance with key business objectives, and how to design and lead the change programs needed to make these shifts.

It has two points of focus: looking at both the changes needed for corporate sustainability, and the corporate change strategies that are required.

Project activities

The Project draws on the expertise of the Corporate Sustainability Network. The Network comprises over 100 experts in various aspects of sustainability, who are interested in contributing to the redesign of organisations around sustainability principles. Currently the Project is working with Dr Andrew Griffiths from Queensland University of Technology on the writing of a sustainability handbook for change practitioners.

The Project has also established the Change Agent Network, which acts as a forum to review current developments in organisational change strategy and implementation.
