Why Sustainability?
Companies, governments, and non-profits are all seeing the benefits of sustainability. No longer is looking at the economic performance of entities enough: shareholders, investors, managers, and leadership are looking at how their enterprise affects their people, planet, and profits.
CEO Voice's
on Sustainability
“It is important to be a capitalist at heart, but it is even more important to be a capitalist with a heart.” –Paul Polman, Unilever
“There is no more strategic issue for a company, or any organization, than its ultimate purpose. For those who think business exists to make a profit, I suggest they think again. Business makes a profit to exist. Surely it must exist for some higher, nobler purpose than that.” -Ray Anderson, Interface Carpet
“The economic crisis that’s going on right now doesn’t represent a cycle, it represents a reset. And people that understand that will prosper and people who don’t understand that will get left behind…. When we come out of this fog, this notion that companies need to stand for something and need to be accountable for more than just the money they earn will be profound.”-Jeffrey Immelt, General Electric
