Five Companies Using Social Media for Sustainability

Good sustainability calls for stakeholder engagement and what better way to engage with your customers, suppliers, competitors and fans than through social media.  I was asked at a conference recently which companies are getting it right and I actually found it hard to answer.  I don’t have one clear case study in mind.  It seems like companies are doing video really well but social media still seems more challenging to get right.
