Industry groups have come together in collaboration with UMass Dartmouth to develop the Cannabis Corporate Social and Environmental Sustainability Survey to gather input from cultivators in the U.S. and Canada about attitudes toward sustainability practices and corporate social responsibility.

Study partners include Enlighten Your Grow, Trella and Cannabis Center of Excellence.

The project’s overall goal is to better understand cannabis cultivators’ corporate responsibility efforts to address the harm cased by the war on drugs, as well as reduce the industry’s energy and environmental footprint.

Information collected through the study, which has been approved by the UMass Dartmouth Institutional Review Board, will be used to develop best practices, education materials and policy memos to facilitate positive change.

The anonymous survey will remain open until Dec. 31, and insights will be shared publicly in early 2021.
