EDIT NOTE
GETTING GREEN
Here’s some food for thought: A whopping 64 percent of consumers
cannot identify a single “green” company (Page 7). Ironically, another
study found that 62 percent of adults are admittedly either equally as
likely or more likely to visit a business that focused on being green,
regardless of distance or effort required.
The bottom line here is that while society and the environment may
be reaping rewards from your sustainability efforts, you may be missing out on the “green” that comes along with
“being green”.
So, how can your company spread the word
and capitalize on being sustainable? Learn from
the industry’s best in this totally green issue.
In our exclusive cover story with Kraft Foods VP
of Sustainability Steve Yucknut, you’ll discover how
the company is greening itself from the inside out,
making sustainability part of every business decision in its noble effort to meet the needs of the present while being mindful of the future.
Plus, Procter & Gamble provides us with an update into the progress
of its Future Friendly initiative, which aims to proactively help the mainstream consumer save water, waste and energy at home.
A Consumer Goods Sustainability Index highlights key accomplishments
from the Top 12 green consumer goods companies as determined by the
