The New Metrics of Sustainable Business

September 27-28, 2012

The Wharton School

Philadelphia, PA 


As the definition of value continues to evolve, the demand for business to demonstrate its ability to create value of various forms for all stakeholders - rather than simply profit for shareholders - is increasing, and the question of how this value is identified, measured and communicated becomes paramount. 

Beginning with a step back to ask ourselves, what is the point of business and economics anyway, this 2-day, in-depth discussion, some of sustainability's top strategists will examine leading-edge work that is expanding the way business creates, quantifies, and manages the value it delivers through the metrics it adopts.

Key topics to be explored include:

  • How society is beginning to redefine value in the 21st century and what this means for business
  • Breakthrough research and models for measuring the ROI of sustainability efforts
  • Standardizing sustainability context
  • Incentivizing and maximizing employee engagement and well-being and quantifying the value of same
  • Tying environmental and social initiatives to enhanced shareholder value
  • The valuation of ecosystem services
  • The growing role of materiality in how companies are, or should be, measuring and reporting impact
