Resources: Sustainablilty Market Leaders Workbook

Sustainability Market Leaders (SMLs) were each mailed Sustainability Market Leader Workbook Binders in advance of Implementation Forum 1 (IF1) to set a shared initial context and inform our work during IF1. The SML Workbook is composed of perspectives, data, references, and reflective and analytic exercises to enable each SML to ascertain where s/he stands in readiness to lead his/her organization to become one in which people, place and governance factors are included in his/her organization's policies and operations. Further, the SML Workbook Binder serves as a tool to capture and keep at the ready thoughts or activities each SML undertakes in their goal of integrating IESGF Best Practices in their own organizations and when SMLs meet again in a body at Implementation Forum 2 (IF2) in summer 2008. The SML Workbook further serves as a tool to capture resources and conversations exchanged on the SML Online Forum through which each SML is in mutually supportive electronic conversations with other SMLs in their shared work. This electronic SML Workbook can be readily accessed on-line as well as printed and kept in a binder for ready reference.
