If you are a manager looking for information to take over to the IR office in your company, this is good for helping to “build the investment case.” IR magazine, an authoritative voice for the investor relations professional, puts the recent Ceres report in focus.

Conclusions reached include tying executive compensation to sustainability advances and urging the board to pay more attention to “the extraordinary challenges of global climate change” and more. It’s a good quick read for the IR officer.
