A recent report on sustainability initiatives from the Aberdeen Group notes that top performers place the transformation of an enterprise’s culture at the center of their sustainability and corporate responsibility platforms.

“Sustainability is as much about change in organizational culture as it is about process transformation. Accordingly, vision, leadership, education and communication are as important as changes in operational processes and technology,” according to Aberdeen.

One way Johnson Controls has been helping companies and organizations develop a culture of sustainability is through interactive Sustainability Navigator™  sessions.  We’re offering a free session at this year’s U.S. Green Building Council’ Greenbuild Conference, November 18 at the Westin Boston Waterfront.

In two highly interactive sessions – limited to 80 people each – participants will be introduced to our innovative gameboard-inspired assessment tool, the Sustainability Navigator. Johnson Controls developed the award-winning Navigator to help organizations identify and prioritize opportunities for improving their triple bottom line.

Participants complete a needs assessment covering a broad range of sustainability issues including environmental stewardship, social responsibility and economic prosperity.  Then they evaluate their organization’s effectiveness in implementing sustainability best practices in the areas of:

•        Management/strategy
•        Environmental design
•        Operational efficiency
•        Social development
•        Metrics and reporting

After both assessments are completed, participants can compare results with other attendees and take away useful ideas about how to develop and implement a culture of sustainability in their own organizations.
