“Over the last 10 years, the ‘Sustainability Imperative’ has emerged,
magnified by escalating public and governmental concern about climate change,
industrial pollution, food safety, and natural resource depletion,
among other issues.” David Lubin and Daniel Esty, HBR, May-
June 2010
“Sustainability should be a touchstone for all innovation …
In the future, only companies that make sustainability a goal will achieve
competitive advantage. That means rethinking business models as well as products, technologies, and
processes.”
Nidumolu, Prahalad, and Rangaswami, HBR Sept.-Oct. 2009
“Why Sustainability IsNow the Key Driver of Innovation”
“Capitalism is under siege … The purpose of a business must be
redefined around creating shared value (CSV)…
How to reinvent capitalism—and unleash a wave of innovation and growth”
Michael Porter and Daniel Kramer, HBR, Jan-Feb 2011
