Ray Anderson on the business logic of sustainability



The business case for sustainability:
  1. operations are cheaper
  2. which pays for necessary infrastructure costs
  3. sustainable products attract customers/sales
  4. sustainable brand also attracts best employees
and Ray factors in Affluence and Happiness.

Carpets are a hydrocarbon/petro intensive industry.

This is big news because here we have a company that can track its whole operation across the entire supply chain.

Finished off with great applomb with tomorrow's child, a poem written by one of Ray's employees.
