SUSTAINABLE ORGANIZATIONS

The Center for Sustainable Organizations (CSO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created in 2004 by its founder and Executive Director, Mark W. McElroy, PhD. Its purpose is to conduct research, development, training and consulting for, and with, companies around the world interested in improving the sustainability performance of their operations... What differentiates CSO from others in the field is its strong commitment to an approach for corporate sustainability measurement, management and reporting that is context-based (i.e., that interprets sustainability performance in terms of impacts on vital capitals relative to organization-specific norms, standards or thresholds for what such impacts would have to be in order to be sustainable). Indeed, Context-Based Sustainability (CBS) was created at CSO. It comprises our core theory of change.
