6. The Death of CSR?
“[sustainability]…is about the fundamental
intergenerational task of winding down the
dysfunctional economic and business models of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the evolution
of new ones fit for a human population headed
towards nine billion people, living on a small planet
which is already in „ecological overshoot‟”

9. Integrated Sustainability Agenda
We launched Plan A in January
2007, setting out 100
commitments to achieve in 5
years. We've now extended Plan
A to 180 commitments to
achieve by 2015, with the
ultimate goal of becoming the
world's most sustainable major
retailer.
Through Plan A we are working
with our customers and our
suppliers to combat climate
change, reduce waste, use
sustainable raw materials, trade
ethically, and help our customers
to lead healthier lifestyles.

11. 21st CENTURY THINKING
“…prevailing approaches to CSR are so fragmented and
disconnected from business strategy as to obscure the greatest
opportunities for companies to benefit society. If corporations
were to [use] the same frameworks that guide their business,
they would discover that CSR can be… a source of opportunity,
innovation, and competitive advantage…”
