“The so-called choice between
going green or going for growth is a
false one….With the right policies in
place, green business will be a
major pillar of our future growth”
Peter Bakker, CEO, World Business Council for Sustainable
Development
“Over the last 20 years - ever since the first Earth Summit in Rio
de Janeiro - business has become an important voice on
sustainability issues. It‟s no longer simply part of the problem;
it‟s part of the solution, if not the driver for it…..
Annual Review
…In fact, many companies worldwide have created their own 2012-13 –
innovative programs to improve their sustainability.” “Accelerate Now”
