"The Engaged Organization" is the title of a recent report from the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), which conducted in-depth studies of  companies to determine the importance of having a workforce that truly understands the importance of environmental and sustainability issues to the well being of  an organization. After interviewing 1,300 business professionals, among other things they found that:

"65 percent of respondents value job candidates’ E&S knowledge, while 78 percent of  respondents believe that the value of job candidates’ E&S knowledge will increase in importance as a hiring factor within five years." 

This is entirely consistent with CORE's view that more and more companies are recognizing that environmentally and socially responsible business is good business. This should also be good news for all of the bright young MBA and other graduate students who have made sustainability a focus of their studies in the local universities.
