How to Capture the Business Sustainability Spotlight

First Quarter: the time of the year when business executives roll-out the company’s plans for the year and employees finalize their individual goals.   This is the pivotal moment when direction and overall mindset will be most significantly influenced for the entire year.  As I a sustainability consultant, I wonder how many executives take the sustainability spotlight?
