Smart Sustainability - join ARM's research project and receive free benchmarking opportunities

ARM and IBLF have launched a survey on how the technology sector is addressing global sustainability issues.

The brief online questionnaire will take no more than 5 minutes and all participants will be sent a soft copy of the final "Smart Sustainability" report.

There are significant extra benefits if you then have time to go on and complete a more detailed survey, which will take around twenty minutes:

  • a (confidential) report benchmarking your company's performance against other respondents
  • the right to use this data, and the final "Smart Sustainability" report, in your own publications
  • $10 donation to the East African Drought Campaign from ARM for every full survey completed
The resulting report is assured excellent coverage through ARM's participation in the UN LEAD initiative and the associated activities. The International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) is working with ARM to compile this report. Please click here to complete the questionnaire.

We would like to thank you in advance for your participation. If you have any queries about the questionnaire, please contact Bridget Cochrane, Director of the Digital Partnership at IBLF [email protected].
