Its the new rock and roll. Its the new black. Sustainability is trendy, and not just among hipsters and pop stars. The uncool chemical sector helped pioneer it, and today, companies inside and outside the sector have embraced it. But what have they embraced? Surely not the Brundtland definition of meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.Sustainability describes a change in the chemical industrys approach to the external world: to regulators, to greens, to neighbors, to investors and to the general public. Displacing the adversarialism of the 1970s80s, sustainability is a new approach to social/political conflict, and an attempt to rebuild the industrys longsuffering public image. In practice, it consists of:A stakeholder approach to communications and external relationsA rebranding of regulatory compliance and risk management, with the emphasis on their benefits to stakeholdersRecognition (and even celebration) of the opportunities, not just the costs, of environmental and social protectionThe core of this book is a survey of the worlds 29 largest chemical companies: how they put sustainability into action (six of the 29 do not), and the six sustainability brands they have created. It begins with a history of stakeholders conflict, before looking at various definitions of sustainability by academics, by the public and by investors. After the survey and analysis, the book covers sustainability and greenwash plus the ROI of sustainability, and it gives five recommendations.
