Business & Environment
The National Environmental Education Foundation has wide range of experience with the confluence of business and the environment.
NEEF launched GreenBiz.com and invested in its growth as a leading voice for business and environmental news. In 2006, the National Environmental Education Foundation transferred GreenBiz.com to Greener World Media, the first media company dedicated to sustainable business news and information.
We have also published several business reports and publications covering topics such as corporate mentoring, supply chain, and energy efficiency and shareholder value.
Current Initiative: Integrating Values Across an Organization
At present, the National Environmental Education Foundation is working on a study exploring how companies use employee education and engagement to align corporate environmental values and day-to-day operations.
Our goal is to help managers at leading companies create a corporate culture in which each employee is committed to doing his or her part to improve the environment. Internal employee education varies widely from company to company, with the responsibility resting in Human Resources, the EHS office, procurement, or elsewhere. To understand the dynamics better, we will undertake research over the next year, culminating in a resource to help companies excel in this emerging area.
The final study will highlight best practices, strategies, process, lessons learned, metrics and organizational culture. These elements will help define viable, practical strategies to bring a company's values to life.
