What business leaders are saying about sustainability:

I think it's fair to state the case in rather stark terms that in the future, companies that are not sustainable-in the fullest sense of that term-will not be operationally or financially successful. It is doubtful they will even survive. That's why this topic has a special urgency for all of us.

We can no longer draw a line around business and say that is not our problem. If it is a problem for society, it is our problem also.
-Mark Moody-Stuart, Chairman of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group

The market for environmental solutions is already here, and it's growing stronger. We see it every day in our dialogues with consumers, in our market research, and on the evening news. This new dynamic is going to drive rapid change.
