How Smart Companies Turn Sustainability into Billion-Dollar Businesses
AMACOM, 2015
Was ist drin?
Can socially conscious companies make lots of money? Nine unique billion-dollar businesses say yes.
Recommendation
Adherents of traditional business ideology say it can’t be done: You can’t make money and exercise a social conscience. Yet, nine unique billion-dollar businesses are proving them wrong. These “Green Giant” companies, including Tesla, Toyota, GE, Whole Foods and Nike, earn strong profits while helping to sustain the planet. Sustainability consultant E. Freya Williams identifies six characteristics of these successful green companies. Her examples and supportive documentation build a solid business case for placing purpose ahead of profit. getAbstract recommends her well-researched report to business leaders, social entrepreneurs and consumers interested in in the green business movement.
