Thanks to Nick at TriplePundit<\/a> for pointing us to this article<\/a> from the “Sustainble Business Insider” at SustainableBusiness.com. The article points to three emerging business trends that bode well for progress towards more sustainable business practices in the mainstream: the rise of climate-neutral companies, enviro-metrics for accounting and the emergence of cradle-to-landfill stewardship. I’d certainly call these hopeful signs, but the sceptic in me is on the lookout for greenwashing. Also, these are good first steps, but only first steps — I’d want to see many more companies engaging in a thorough recalibrating of their mission towards “Doing Well by Doing Good” (a quote from Ray Anderson’s Mid-Course Correction<\/em>) before I start celebrating.<\/p>\n Technorati tags: sustainability<\/a>, business<\/a><\/p>\n
