Do You Know the Top Ten Things Sustainable Business Leaders Know?

Since the introduction of the concept of the triple bottom line, supporters and critics have debated the ability to link the environmental and social responsibility to business profitability. Without a definitive financial incentive, companies have historically not been receptive to the idea of integrating sustainability concepts into core business practices. However, recent trends tend to indicate that the business world may be changing their view.

Business sustainability is not exclusively environmentally focused. Business sustainability programs offer measures to save money and grow profitable businesses. Integrating sustainability concepts into core business functions enables businesses to become more nimble in a fast-changing world.   Customers want it, it increases the bottom line, improves employee morale, reduce risks, and... It is good for the environment.
