products and some additions to our team.
(Then we'll return to our familiar cycle. In the
meantime, keep your eye on our
web

Sustainability Thought Leader Video
Natural Logic CEO Gil Friend is one of the
people
featured in Naturally
Successful, a new video just released by
Arnold
Creek Video. Here's the summary:
A new type of entrepreneur is changing
industries
and the world at the speed of business. Making a
profit
is essential, but their measures of
success include the social, environmental and
economic impacts. And
these innovators see limitless opportunities
in the challenges of the
21st century.
Naturally
Successful features interviews with some
of the
country's top business
consultants, who are inspiring entrepreneurs
worldwide. They offer insights on building
values-driven businesses,
seizing opportunities in new and existing
markets, and embracing a new type of
capitalism.

Latest survey results
|
|
"Employees Want the Change"
In our March newsletter, we invited you to
participate
in a survey (conducted in collaboration
with our friends at Fresh Marketing), looking at
employees' roles in affecting the social and
environmental policies and impacts of their
companies.
The goal was to better understand how to
get -- or how to enable -- employees and
leaders to assess their current
environmental, social and economic (ESE)
performance and take effective action.
The survey results are in, and available
for download (245k PDF). It's a
thought-provoking
report, relevant for anyone seeking to
make sustainability relevant to their clients
and communities.
