Surprising Findings for Corporate Sustainability In Silicon Valley

Much is made about whether Silicon Valley corporations, start-ups and tech giants are role models of sustainability.  CSE provides the first systematic research on Silicon Valley corporate sustainability efforts, analyzing corporate social responsibility reporting by Silicon Valley-based companies and organizations.

The report provides insight for investors, business leaders, company boards, CSR and sustainability professionals, NGOs, customers, students and other stakeholders.  It tracks if organizations follow best practices; which focus areas are emphasized over others; and which type of companies demonstrate comprehensive sustainability practices, have the highest percentage of sustainability professionals or sustainability reporting, if any.

The report includes global leaders in their field such as Adobe, AMD, Apple, Cisco, Dolby, eBay, Facebook, FICO, Google, Intel, Intuit, PayPal, Oracle, SunPower, Tesla, Twitter and Zynga.  Industries covered include automotive, computer and internet, entertainment, financial services, medical, renewables and telecommunications.

Do companies understand and follow a systems approach? Find out which companies practice all five sustainability categories covered: community, environment, employee, ethics, supply chain and philanthropy.

CSE’s research furthers its commitment to high caliber training in sustainability for corporate executives and sustainability managers worldwide.  Its Sustainability Academy (a global initiative to train 100,000 sustainability professionals by 2020!) provides rigorous education to sustainability professionals, entrepreneurs and graduates needing the latest resources to advance in this ever evolving field.
