Social sustainability becomes a true competitive advantage when it is integrated into the firm's strategy, not only in compliance, but in how the company grows its business, develops products, manages people, and works with customers and communities. This short assessment helps you understand how deeply social sustainability is integrated into your firm's strategic management, from basic legal compliance to purpose-driven or shared-value strategy development.
