Sustainability is ” a business approach to creating long-term value by embracing opportunities and managing risks derived from economic, environmental and social impacts… it also involves creating and maintaining a product, service, or business identity that reflects added value in terms of environmental and social benefits.”

–Best Global Green Brands Report, 2014

The report says the path forward [to sustainability] requires a radical shift in priorities, production and consumption methods and values. The path forward requires innovation, leadership, courage and cooperation.

“…the search for new, more sustainable models, solutions, methods and materials is accelerating…  it is becoming increasingly clear that “business as usual” is not the path forward.”
