|
| It’s
not uncommon these days to see sustainability defined as the next big

company taking steps to prepare for “disruptive” change? If not, what
are some of the key areas that you should be considering? |

| Deloitte Reports on Role of Corporate Boards in Sustainability Plan |
|
| Deloitte
just released new survey results and a white paper, both of which
underscore how corporate boards are becoming increasingly vital in
oversight of initiatives involving corporate responsibility and
sustainability (CR&S). There’s no doubt that companies today are
under tremendous economic pressure. If executives are devoting their
attention to short-term financial matters, it only makes sense that
boards are going to have to step up to attend to longer-term concerns
like CR&S. |

| Are there Hidden Risks in Your Supply Chain? |
|
| Supply
chain risk is one of the most visible challenges that companies face
today. Recent headlines tell the story: delayed product introductions,
natural disasters such as earthquakes (leading to factory shutdowns and
logistics delays), tainted consumer and pharmaceutical products, child
labor abuses, manufacturing and logistics disruptions – the list goes
on. |
