John Cridland, the CBI’s Director-General; summer 2012:-
“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…..
…In fact, many companies worldwide have created their own innovative programs to improve their sustainability.”
