It is sometimes called the 3P approach — People, Planet and Profits. In each case it requires thinking in three dimensions, not one.” ~Greenbiz.com

 

“Good Company lays out the convergence of social, economic, and political forces— ranging from the explosion of online information sharing to the emergence of the ethical consumer and the rapid expansion of the green market—that are ushering in this new era. Moreover, the authors prove the connection between good corporate behavior and the bottom line with their Good Company Index.”
