FISHERS, Ind. September 23, 2020 / 3BL Media / - Land Betterment Corporation (“Land Betterment” or the “Company”), an environmental solutions company fostering positive impact through upcycling former coal mining sites to create sustainable community development and job creation, supports and is ready to take action based on the World Economic Forum’s White Paper on Measuring Stakeholder Capitalism.  

Land Betterment’s co-founder and Chief Governance Officer, Mark LaVerghetta stated, “This White Paper is a game changer for those who want to create a real framework for sustainability throughout their organization.  In a world of mixed governing bodies, having one set of straightforward and adoptable metrics will allow both the investment world and the impact world one cohesive scorecard of measuring sustainability.”

To create an actionable framework, the World Economic Forum partnered with Bank of America as well as the leading Big 4 Accounting firms of EY, Deloitte, KPMG and PwC.  Currently there are multiple frameworks which leads to fragmented review and oversight of a company’s sustainability.  

Co-founder and President of Land Betterment, Kirk Taylor stated, “the four pillars of the White Paper; Principles of Governance, Planet, People and Prosperity, are woven throughout our company’s ethos and are all necessary to bring true stakeholder value to the communities in which we serve.”
