Corporate Sustainability Initiative (CSI)
The Corporate Sustainability Initiative (CSI) brings together leading
scholars, students, stakeholders, and practitioners from Duke
University and beyond to create the next generation of sustainable
enterprises and business leaders. Sustainable businesses deliver new
value by simultaneously creating profitable enterprises, reducing
negative environmental and social impacts, and offering innovative
solutions to emerging environmental challenges. CSI has 2 primary
objectives: first, it aspires to develop the theory and practice of
corporate sustainability through rigorous research and field testing,
drawing from the rich inter-disciplinary resources of Duke University,
collaborating with government, private and civil sectors, and
implementing new approaches across a variety of enterprises. A second
priority is to educate business professionals who link business and
sustainability imperatives to create the sustainable enterprises of the
future.
