Recession? What recession? Green and Sustainable Business is booming!
Green and sustainable products and services, operational and communication strategies are rapidly heading toward a "tipping point" of mainstream practice. Both well-established and newer organizations embracing sustainability can benefit from the experiences of other practitioners who have been modeling, learning and integrating "best practices" since the 1980's.
With the current economy in a slump, petroleum prices fluctuating, and the rise of a "green consumer ethic," capital markets are finding new opportunities in clean and renewable technologies and it appears that triple-bottom-line sustainability is finally becoming, well, sustainable. Some industries have been permanently disrupted, shaking out new leaders, while radical innovation has defined entirely new markets, especially in Europe and Japan; will the US economy find its legs through a bright green, biorenewable and sustainable economy?
This portal features a family of businesses and networks that help organizations further their social responsibility and environmental stewardship goals as well
as to develop sound fiscal management and economic prosperity in organizations large and small.
