Said And Done.....SAD?

All too often when it come to sustainability when all is said and done a lot more is said than done.  It is great news that so many organizations have “jumped on the band wagon” to publish annual sustainability reports.  It is a step in the right direction for sure but the real opportunities come the ability to report daily or even up to the minute.  Why?  Well, imagine that you could only get a bank statement once a year.  That gives you only one chance a year to make amendments and plan.  Clearly we’d all rather have up to the minute access to our financial information so why should environmental information be any different?  The concept of triple bottom line is not new – People, Planet, Profit.   We’ve figured out how to wield the power of prophet but the real advantage for any organization is leveraging the hidden power of people and planet.   For those organizations out there that report annually on sustainability  - why now lay hands on some hidden power?  Can you say that you have done as much as you said or will you remain sad....?
