About the Research

• The annual BSR/GlobeScan State of Sustainable Business Survey (now in its ninth year) provides insights into the world of sustainable business and aims to identify common perceptions and practices of corporate sustainability professionals.

• In addition to measuring shifting priorities and challenges in corporate sustainability, this year presented a unique opportunity to understand how business is responding to the changing social landscape.

• The 2017 survey examines business’ response to changing dynamics in American society, and offers unique insights on how companies are implementing sustainability goals, being bold in their strategies, and reacting to recent global developments in climate change and sustainability.

• This year, we benefit from the perspectives of nearly 300 experienced professionals representing more than 150 companies. Collectively, this is a highly informed group of corporate professionals on the leading edge of sustainable business. Their views provide deep insight into the current state of sustainable business, future opportunities, and challenges in the landscape of business and society.
