Corporate Responsibility and
Sustainability Have Great
Potential to Deliver
Returns on Investment

Project ROI is a leading series of research reports, led by lead author and Impact ROI CEO Steve Rochlin (working for Impact ROI’s predecessor organization IO Sustainability). Project ROI has involved leading partners from Babson College and ACCP. The original study was sponsored by convening sponsor Verizon and supporting sponsor The Campbell Soup Company. Project ROI finds that corporate responsibility (CR) and sustainability can deliver tangible financial return on investment (ROI) and wider bottom line results. But it’s not enough to do CR and sustainability, one must do it well. Project ROI defines a clear roadmap of essential practices for companies that want to improve the impact and value of their CR and sustainability performance.”
