Center for Sustainable Business Practices

Corporate Roundtable

Uniting social, environmental and financial assets for innovative advantage

Convened with the Center for Sustainable Business Practices at Cleveland State University’s Nance College of Business, this group of business leaders meets monthly for peer learning about best practices and innovation in corporate and community sustainability. Corporate Roundtable serves as a neutral, “honest broker,” offering knowledge resources to assist in participants’ exploration of sustainability and what it means for their businesses. Discussion focuses on enhancing economic, environmental and social values through sustainable practices, products, technology, and strategy.

Participants who invest in this forum comprise many of the region’s largest national and multi-national corporate citizens who maintain global or division headquarters in Northeast Ohio. The facilitated roundtable discussions explore such topics as sustainable supply chains, corporate sustainability models in use today, and business opportunities in climate-friendly technologies. 

The Corporate Roundtable is a safe and unique space for our members to learn about effective stakeholder engagement, a key piece to corporate sustainability.
