Learning from Sustainability Innovators

摘要

As recently as a decade ago, data showed that most business leaders were skeptical about sustainability. The prevailing sentiments were that sustainability necessarily involved incremental costs and that it was a "nice to have," not a "need to have." Combined, those attitudes represented a challenge to what was to become the recurring theme of this department: that sustainability not only is necessary to protect and preserve the one planet all mankind shares, but it also makes good business sense. Rather than adding expense, sustainability actually drives efficiencies by reducing waste. This, in turn, protects the planet and improves company bottom lines.
