Industry Associations are the stewards of their membership’s collective reputation and they typically lead their industry’s response to collective challenges. So they have to remain vigilant about the risks posed by mishandled or unaddressed sustainability issues, while also looking to the opportunities that sustainability provides for sector growth. Stratos helps Industry Associations understand the business case for collective action on sustainability, identify material sustainability issues, engage key stakeholders and develop strategies for improving member sustainability performance.
