The Industry Association Council (IAC) is a collaboration initiated by the Network for Business Sustainability (NBS) to advance the sustainability agenda in Canada.
What is the IAC?
The IAC is a group of committed leaders dedicated to supporting the sustainable business practices of their members. NBS is creating a space for industry associations to work together on challenging sustainability issues. The purpose of the IAC is to:
1. Identify the important sustainability challenges of association members
2. Address members’ sustainability challenges with best practice, knowledge and education
3. Identify areas of collective interest that warrant further research or future actions
2012 Activities

- An overview of industry-level sustainability programs to support industry associations in advancing sustainability
- A 3-step guide to help businesses work with community groups.
