- Title
Sustainability in an ugly climate.
- Authors
Russell, John; Wilkinson, Malcolm
- Abstract
This article describes how the 2009 economic recession provides an opportunity for a business to become a sustainable enterprise. It explores the need for business models based on "make, use and dispose" to be replaced by those based on the mantra of "reduce, reuse and recycle." The economic benefit for companies that reduce their environmental impact, increase the value they place on human capital and leverage their deployment of financial and asset capital is discussed.
