| Abstract: | Sustainability requires that problems be solved in a whole systems context. Corporations are increasingly finding that local/regional/state level partnerships provide whole systems solutions and unexpected benefits. Partnerships generally support four Sustainability strategies: (1) Environmental Restoration of natural capital; (2) Community Development of human and social capital; (3) Regulatory/Standards Development; and (4) Learning Communities. Partnerships tend to become forms of learning communities if the efforts move beyond the corporate environmental staff. The partnerships consistently lead to unexpected benefits, whether it be international sales leads from a totally locally-focused network. |
