The Sustainability Wheel identifies six interrelated dimensions of sustainability integration: Respect – the sustainability philosophy of the organizationReflect – how that philosophy is conveyed internallyConnect – how external stakeholders view the organizationDetect – how the organization identifies, analyzes, and responds to sustainability threatsReject – how the organization eliminates inefficiency and wasteProject – how the organization identifies, develops, and measures opportunities and converts them to projects and programs aligned with its central missionThe book contains a set of questions designed to measure your organizations sustainability in each dimension. Armed with this valuable feedback, you can determine priorities for sustainability improvement, validate that present sustainability efforts are within your organizations mission/vision, and provide a mechanism to integrate sustainability into everyday operations.
