CFOs and The New GreenER Bottom Line Requirements

http://www.greenbiz.com/blog/2011/09/06/will-cfos-ever-get-sustainability

For years, the chief executive officer was seen as the key individual responsible for viewing a company through the lens of sustainability. That made sense: If you can’t get the person at the top to pay attention, why should anyone else? That’s changing. Today, it’s the chief financial officer who reigns supreme in sustainability. (S)he who manages risk, compensation, disclosure, and financial performance will more or less set the stage for how a company addresses its environmental and social impacts.

Consumers Are Demanding Verifiably GreenER Accountability

noreply@blogger.com (caroline jaffe-pickett) — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:08:00 +0000

Consumers are demanding accountability. Research suggests that 73 percent of Americans care about the company behind a product, but less than 1 percent of consumers believe a company’s claims outright. http://www.successmagazine.com/a-new-business-model/PARAMS/article/1512/channel/22

Ray Anderson, Radical Industrialist

"Nature is the goose that lays all the golden eggs. We don't want to squeeze her to death…If we don't take care of nature, we won't have a civilization...

Does that sound like a tree-hugging environmentalist? Well, it is, but it's also the founder and chairman of a $1-billion a year carpet company. His name is Ray Anderson, he calls himself a radical industrialist and he has led his company, Interface, on a remarkable 15-year journey to sustainability. He's got a lot to teach the rest of us.

One of the best things about my work is that I get to spend time with people like Ray. He's got a new book out -- it's called Confessions of a Radical Industrialist ..."

Twitter's 5-Year Anniversary Video

noreply@blogger.com (caroline jaffe-pickett) — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 20:22:00 +0000

Twitter's 5-year anniversary video, featuring noted celebrities such as Snoop Dog, Serena Williams, Hilary Clinton, and Richard Branson,
is a great lesson in video. If you haven't learned it already, know that simpler is better, and the power of testimonials should
never be underestimated. I like the global reach, the music, and the transitions. What's your take?
