Today’s Reality
• If you sell, be prepared to deal with sustainability issues
• Reality of environmental regulations– Growing exponentially– Often inconsistent
• Internally• Externally (EPA Focus Group)
– Dynamic – Politically driven– National and cultural disparities– Compliance is not enough!
• Internationally, which standard to use?

New Realities of Sustainability

Some Final Thoughts
• Sustainability is a mixed message.
• Yet, there is strong evidence that sustainability is no longer a fad.
• And it represents an opportunity for firms.
• It is no longer a choice but a business imperative!
• It can be done well; it can be done poorly; the decision is up to you!
