We provide leading-edge research, education and free tools for change makers and sustainability leaders
The Swiss "Green Business CEO Rating" is published on June 25, 2021 by the business journal BILANZ and on June 30, 2021 in the Swiss-french magazine PME. This rating represents a first ever assessment of the societal contribution of corporations and their CEOs. The IBS has developed the underlying methodology offering a first-time comparison of traditional ESG risk management and positive societal impact of organizations. It also features a first-time assessment of the responsible leadership competency and the perceived positive impact credibility of CEOs.
To celebrate this ground-breaking new rating, we offer organizations and leaders a free opportunity to test their own sustainability and responsibility:
