Taking Care of Business
by Joel Makower
I’m just back from a long weekend away — and largely unplugged — so am more than a little sun-blissed this morning, tiptoeing back into the all-too-real world.
Let’s see: Politics as usual. Horror at high school. Border skirmishes. Sordid affairs. The Russians are coming — again. Sigh.
Thank heavens for sustainable business. It remains a beacon of hopefulness, a renewable resource of optimism. I’ve been plowing these fields now for nearly 30 years and it never gets old.
So, below we offer: how the world’s biggest companies are supporting some of the world’s smallest ones … the lengthy list of firms aligning their commitments and achievements with today’s scientific realities … the growing move to completely eliminate waste … and how to prime the pump of private capital to address sustainable development across the globe.
Ah, sustainability! It’s good to be back.
