An Environmental Journalist’s Take

Timothy Gardner

Reuters Energy & Environment Correspondent

“Whether it’s about the natural gas boom, the effect of freakish weather events on agriculture or pollution choking China, news and information can help organizations make smart guesses about their futures. As our understanding of the natural world changes, ideas from even the recent past beg to be refined. Doing so requires knowing what natural resources organizations use, alternatives and the risks. Keeping on top of developments helps people avoid making decisions in the dark. At best, they can surpass goals, avert conflicts and improve their partnership with society.”

An Environmental Advocate’s Perspective

President/CEO, The Nature Conservancy

“Corporate sustainability is not only the right thing to do—it’s the smart thing to do. Companies rely on nature, from clean water to raw materials. It makes great business sense for companies to invest in the long-term health of the natural resources and services that sustain their bottom lines. Forward-thinking companies that integrate the value of nature into core business decisions will lead their industries in earnings growth, productivity, innovation and employee satisfaction in the decades ahead.”
