- [2025: The Year Sustainability Didn't Die](https://andrewwinston.com/2025-the-year-sustainability-didnt-die/) - [Hi all. Happy New Year. The year ahead of us in the sustainability world will likely be challenging (see my LinkedIn post today). So it's important to understand what did -- and didn't -- happen in 2025. Here's my annual review, which originally appeared on Fortune.com. In short, sustainability didn't end, and some things actually
- [Yes, Investing in ESG Pays Off](https://andrewwinston.com/yes-investing-in-esg-pays-off/) - [I published this piece, co-authored with Paul Polman, in Harvard Business Review a few weeks ago. This is another in the realm of the "business case" for sustainability (within a corporation for its own capital and investment decisions, not as an investment thesis for investors). I don't love the use of "ESG" in the title

It's co-authored with Elizabeth Doty and Prof. Tom Lyon, both from University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Erb Institute. They have developed an excellent framework on how companies should think about their political influence. Glad to help promote it and connect it to
- [The Burden of Proof for Corporate Sustainability Is Too High](https://andrewwinston.com/the-burden-of-proof-for-corporate-sustainability-is-too-high/) - [One of my recurring topics...how the demand for the "business case for sustainability" is perhaps holding us back now. That is, how we can we move sustainability into a category of things we just do in business -- like safety, quality, investing in people, and so on. Particular initiatives would still face normal business scrutiny,
- [ESG Is Under Attack. How Should Your Company Respond?](https://andrewwinston.com/esg-is-under-attack-how-should-your-company-respond/) - [Over the last year-plus, I've done a lot of thinking, writing, and speaking about the so-called anti-ESG movement. It's a complicated thing. This is my attempt to wrangle some kind of framework around the various critics out there. It appeared in HBR last month.] When I speak with business leaders about corporate sustainability, the conversations
- [Stakeholder Capitalism Still Makes Business Sense](https://andrewwinston.com/stakeholder-capitalism-still-makes-business-sense/) - [Mid-August was the 5-year anniversary of an important moment in sustainability, a public statement by the CEO group Business Roundtable about the importance of stakeholders. This is an article I wrote with my Net Positive co-author Paul Polman looking back and assessing where we are now vs. the hype. It first appeared in HBR] On
- [Sometimes Sustainability Costs More. So What?](https://andrewwinston.com/sometimes-sustainability-costs-more-so-what/) - [fyi, this was written before the election and published in MIT SMR that week. Some things have obviously changed, but this long-standing challenge in sustainability hasn't] Corporate sustainability efforts are seemingly facing a slump of low enthusiasm, with some tired clichés like “sustainability always costs more” resurfacing. It’s a blunt, unnuanced argument. The business case for
- [Why We Need to, Have to, Want to Act on Climate Change](https://andrewwinston.com/why-we-need-to-have-to-want-to-act-on-climate-change/) - Need to explain the “why” of climate change action? Here’s a three-part framing to convince businesses and their leaders to respond. The battle to get companies to take sustainability seriously is essentially over. Even in the face of the “anti-ESG” movement — a very American phenomenon — there are vanishingly few large organizations around the

As I've mentioned, I’m shifting most of this blog to the newsletter platform Substack. The focus and substance stay the same — and for free readers, it’s still simply an email showing up as usual. Posts may come a bit more frequently rather than bundled together, or combining pieces as I've been generally

- [Economic Growth Without More Carbon Emissions](https://andrewwinston.com/economic-growth-without-more-carbon-emissions/) - For more than a century, economic growth meant more carbon. That link is breaking. Sorry to keep being the bearer of good news, but a new study on global carbon budgets over the last decade (reported in The Guardian) shows real progress: 92% of the global economy has at least partially decoupled GDP growth from

It's a movement that is unstoppable now. The real question is who will lead or even survive.] Heavy Trucks Are Going Electric The shift to electric vehicles is not coming -- it's here. China is showing what the transition looks like. Heavy trucks, once the hardest part of
- [The Unraveling of Reality](https://andrewwinston.com/the-unraveling-of-reality/) - This may sound like an overstatement, but I think we're at a critical tipping point in human history. We are losing the ability to tell reality from fiction: any piece of digital media may now be fake. I was wasting/enjoying a few minutes on Instagram recently, watching incredible videos of dogs saving toddlers from danger.
- [MIT says, "Sustainability Still Matters"](https://andrewwinston.com/mit-says-sustainability-still-matters/) - [Some news from a few weeks back. This got a lot of discussion and traffic on LinkedIn.

In line with some other posts, it's my take on where we are in general, along with quick take on Climate Week in September. Now we're entering COP in Brazil, which should provide some new perspective on just how serious companies and countries are. I'll
- [China is Dominating a Very Real Clean Tech Transition](https://andrewwinston.com/china-is-dominating-a-very-real-clean-tech-transition/) - [A couple of recent posts on the clean energy transition.] A shocking chart This chart from Bloomberg is unreal. Calling China’s lead in clean tech “dominant” is a vast understatement. They also control 2/3 of the rare earth mining and virtually all of the processing. Clean tech is one of two grand transitions this century
- [A Quick, Positive Report on Climate Week](https://andrewwinston.com/a-quick-positive-report-on-climate-week/) - [Global policy, business, and sustainability leaders descended on NYC for Climate Week. Here is my take, along with a couple links to smaller takeaways.] Here's my topline, gut reaction, on Climate Week: Climate action is still moving. New York hosted, they say, ~1,000 events with 100,000 people...more than last year. I only saw a slice
- [Quarterly Reporting (Or, How I Agreed with Trump Once)](https://andrewwinston.com/quarterly-reporting-or-how-i-agreed-with-trump-once/) - Breaking news: I agree with the president on something. Ok, real breaking news: Trump is calling for an end to quarterly earnings reports. Back in 2009, when Paul Polman (my co-author on the book Net Positive) became CEO of Unilever, he told investors, "We’re not going to report quarterly earnings or provide guidance anymore.” He
- [Clean Tech is Exploding in the Developing World](https://andrewwinston.com/clean-tech-exploding-in-developing-world/) - The clean economy story is expanding from rich countries to everywhere. Phase 2 of the energy transition is here -- renewables are taking off across the developing world. And it's going much faster than people realize. A sampling of recent stories - China: emissions falling in 2025 - Pakistan "pulling off one of the fastest
- [Apple's Offsets Problem...and the Risks of Punishing Imperfect Climate Action](https://andrewwinston.com/apples-offsets-problem-and-the-risks-of-punishing-imperfect-climate-action/) - Apple just lost a court case in Germany over its "CO2-neutral" watch (Link in comments). Apple used forestry-based offsets as part of its neutrality claim. The judges ruled that the offsets were too short-lived, and that "consumers reasonably expect such claims to guarantee carbon storage through at least 2050." It's kind of an odd ruling
- [Legal Attacks on ESG Investing](https://andrewwinston.com/legal-attacks-on-esg-investing/) - Another dumb and dangerous battle in the U.S., this time over sustainable investing. Big proxy advisers like ISS are suing Texas over a new law (going into effect now) requiring that any ESG-related shareholder resolution include a disclaimer: advice is "not being provided solely in the financial interest of the company's shareholders." This sounds wonky
- [Target's Troubles with DEI and LGBTQ+](https://andrewwinston.com/targets-troubles-with-dei-and-lgbtq/) - The CEO of the giant retailer Target is out. There are many logical reasons -- tough competition, the chaos of tariffs, shifting retail trends. But there's another big factor here: Target's retreat from its own values around diversity and inclusion. Last year, Target pulled Pride merchandise from the shelves after facing threats (from, mainly, bigots). At

A few weeks ago I wrote two posts on the topic: one on oil (which sparked plenty of heated debate on LinkedIn, mostly from former oil guys) and another on the explosive growth of solar and wind. Yes, I was provocative in saying
- [US Climate Action Takes Some Hits](https://andrewwinston.com/us-climate-action-takes-some-hits/) - Two major blows to U.S. climate action lately. 1. The EPA's plan to repeal the "endangerment finding" -- that's the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gases. Among those of us working for a thriving future, there's an understandable mood of deflation (see link to one such post). 2. The massive, ugly, regressive budget bill (OBBB),
- [Maintaining Hope](https://andrewwinston.com/maintaining-hope/) - Humanity is facing deep challenges (the poly-crisis, some call it). But as my Net Positive co-author Paul Polman put it so powerfully in a recent post to mark Earth Overshoot Day... “The most dangerous thing we face isn’t the scale of the crisis — it’s the growing sense that it’s too big to solve.” I'd

- [Sustainability Under Pressure: Why ROI Isn’t Enough (and What to Do Instead)](https://andrewwinston.com/sustainability-under-pressure-why-roi-isnt-enough-and-what-to-do-instead/) - Executive Summary: Corporate sustainability in the U.S. is under attack. Most companies have gone quiet, while some have retreated, destroying real value. The sustainability community seems nearly unanimous that maintaining momentum means getting "back to the business case". But relying on a simple ROI alone falls short. In underestimates the value of sustainability and plays

I also polled people on how comfortable they were with using AI for writing, from just checking for errors up to creating something for you, in your voice. See the fascinating debate with huge range of responses on LinkedIn.] I'm increasingly using ChatGPT in my daily work,
- [Are Companies Retreating on Climate Goals?](https://andrewwinston.com/are-companies-retreating-on-climate-goals/) - [Related to my blog from yesterday on whether sustainability is dead...Bloomberg Businessweek recently published a cover story about companies retreating on climate pledges. I wrote two posts on LinkedIn about this. First, Businessweek overstated the case, but it had some important points (post 1). That said, we need to be clearer about how we identify
- [Sustainability Isn't Dead](https://andrewwinston.com/sustainability-isnt-dead/) - Sustainability isn't dead. It's under attack. I keep hearing "sustainability is over." But what does that even mean? Are we talking about the language and comms of corporate sustainability? Or the actual work of building a just, livable planet? Yes, a handful of high-profile companies are retreating, especially on DEI. But the data (and what
- [AI Investments Get a Pass. Sustainability? Not So Much.](https://andrewwinston.com/the-burden-of-proof-on-ai-vs-sustainability/) - Imagine if a study found that only 25% of sustainability investments paid off. It would be a scandal with extensive media coverage about how sustainability is bad for business. Well...an IBM survey of 2,000 global CEOs found that... *Only 25% of AI initiatives have delivered expected ROI *Just 52% say they're realizing value from generative
- [PepsiCo's New Sustainability Goals: The Good, the OK, and the Ugly](https://andrewwinston.com/pepsicos-new-sustainability-goals-the-good-the-ok-and-the-ugly/) - What a strange time in corporate sustainability. PepsiCo released “revised” sustainability goals. They're not a leap forward, but not that bad either (with one key caveat). And yet the company’s tone feels a touch apologetic. This is a good snapshot of where corporate sustainability stands today. There are many goal changes, but here are some
- [Big Milestone for Renewable Energy in the U.S.](https://andrewwinston.com/big-milestone-for-renewable-energy-in-the-u-s/) - In 2024, solar and wind combined generated more electricity than coal for the first time! That's one of many fascinating stats from Ember Energy Research's look at US electricity (See chart below of share of generation, which I made from the report data, so any errors are mine). Some highlights... Rise of renewables: ☀️ Solar
- [The Time for Leadership Courage Is Right Now](https://andrewwinston.com/the-time-for-leadership-courage-is-right-now/) - While the markets bounce wildly with each new tariff announcement from President Donald Trump, it’s probably good that you can’t invest in the fortitude of U.S. business leadership. If there were futures on spines, they would be down. Societal, democratic, and economic norms are being severely tested by the edicts that have poured out of the It would be a mistake to decide that White House overreach won’t touch the private sector. For business leaders, it’s time to collectively spend some moral capital — and get off the sidelines.

Most of the predictions have already happened, which wasn't all that hard - they wrote down an 800-page plan of what they wanted to do...and they're doing it.

A couple of weeks ago HBR published my annual look back at sustainability. It wasn't an easy year.

The world’s biggest challenges generally got worse, or at least more complicated. Our biggest existential threat, climate change, is no longer a scientific model of the future; it’s now a relentless daily challenge.

- [A Half-Hearted Fanatic, A Part-Time Crusader](https://andrewwinston.com/a-half-hearted-fanatic-a-part-time-crusader/) - From the great Edward Abbey: "Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am. A reluctant enthusiast and part-time crusader. A half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves for pleasure and adventure."
- [The Wrong Debate on Green Jobs](https://andrewwinston.com/the-wrong-debate-on-green-jobs/) - In the heated discussions about climate change and the clean tech economy, it's hard to avoid arguing about whether green jobs are "real" or if they can replace traditional fossil-fuel jobs. But this debate is moot on two counts.
- [The Most Powerful NGO You've Probably Never Heard Of](https://andrewwinston.com/the-most-powerful-ngo-youve-probably-never-heard-of/) - By wielding a tool more powerful than legal action, protests, or even partnership, a relative upstart — the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) — has rapidly become the NGO to watch. CDP and its backers are basically demanding transparency-- that's the powerful idea that makes the NGO so strong.
- [The Military Understands Why Getting Off Oil Pays. Why Don't We?](https://andrewwinston.com/the-military-understands-why-getting-off-oil-pays-why-dont-we/) - The New York Times reported today that the U.S. Military is aggressively pursuing "Less Dependence on Fossil Fuels." Why does the military care about going green? Because the cost in money, resources, and lives to bring fuel to Afghanistan and Iraq is just too great. A few of the mind-blowing statistics in this article...
- [A Soccer Ball That Generates Power and Other "Breakthrough" Awards](https://andrewwinston.com/a-soccer-ball-that-generates-power-and-other-breakthrough-awards/) - Popular Science released its list of Breakthrough Awards 2010 for new ideas and products (some on the design table, some out in the market). Out of 18 winners, 5 are clearly green innovations:
- [China Leads the Clean Economy Race](https://andrewwinston.com/china-leads-the-clean-economy-race/) - China is spending $75 billion or more each year for the next ten years to build a clean economy. The country is in the clean tech race to win it. Is the U.S.?
- [The Competing Black Swans of Climate Change](https://andrewwinston.com/the-competing-black-swans-of-climate-change/) - The world faces some big shocks in the realms of sustainability and climate change, and the ways of thinking about the future described in Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book, The Black Swan, will come in handy. But two competing black swans -- climate change itself or worldwide action to pursue sustainability -- both of which seem unlikely, are competing. Let's hope the second one wins.
- [It's not Environment vs. Economy: Green is the Path to Prosperity](https://andrewwinston.com/its-not-environment-vs-economy-green-is-the-path-to-prosperity/) - The New York Times' Ross Douthat relies on a set of arguments against the pursuit of a clean economy that have little basis in fact and mainly defend the untenable status quo. The overall pitch has two main parts: (a) promoting a clean economy through the use of market mechanisms like cap-and-trade is a perversion of free markets...(b) going green will cost jobs and hurt the economy. Let's look at both ideas.
- [Why What you Drive Affects the Price of Bread](https://andrewwinston.com/why-what-you-drive-affects-the-price-of-bread/) - I know it's difficult for the average person to believe, but how we use energy and what we drive actually connects directly to the price of bread. And it doesn't really take that many "degrees of Kevin Bacon" to connect the dots.
- [IBM's Green Supply Chain](https://andrewwinston.com/ibms-green-supply-chain/) - While the "greening of the supply chain" has been in the works for decades, the movement has really taken off in 2010. In the last few months, a number of corporate giants have announced new initiatives that pressure suppliers to do much more to measure and manage their environmental impacts. The big guns asking the questions include Pepsi, P&G (more in a future post), and IBM.
- [Stop Confusing Your Customers with Cognitive Dissonance](https://andrewwinston.com/stop-confusing-your-customers-with-cognitive-dissonance/) - I recently spent two nights at the lovely, high-end Westin hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. When I first entered my room, every lamp and light in the place was on...plus two radios...the hotel is forcing its customers to face two conflicting messages, one conservation-oriented and one theoretically welcoming, but blatantly wasteful.
- [A True Declaration of Independence](https://andrewwinston.com/a-true-declaration-of-independence/) - After a long weekend of family and sun, centered around our annual rite of Americana, I've been thinking about what a modern declaration of independence would look like. What is the modern tyranny that controls our lives?
- [Nike's Open (Green) Innovation](https://andrewwinston.com/nikes-open-green-innovation/) - One of the hottest concepts in strategy and management today is the idea of open innovation. Gone are the highly secluded R&D departments funded by a single company...In its place, in theory, are hubs of collaboration capturing ideas from customers, academia, or some guys in a garage somewhere.
- [Sony Sees the Value of Zero](https://andrewwinston.com/sony-sees-the-value-of-zero/) - It's so refreshing to see one large company, Sony, set a goal of zero environmental footprint by 2050. The company has dubbed this mission its "Road to Zero."

- [Obama's Speech: An Enormous Wasted Opportunity](https://andrewwinston.com/obamas-speech-an-enormous-wasted-opportunity/) - Tonight's speech on the oil spill was a real disappointment for those who believe a clean energy future is perhaps the only path to job growth, public health, national greatness, and freedom (from dependence on a ecologically and economically destructive fossil fuels).
- [Five Lessons from the BP Oil Disaster](https://andrewwinston.com/five-lessons-from-the-bp-oil-disaster/) - The nightmare is not over and the repercussions in terms of regulations and the future of BP are far from certain. But it's high time to start sifting through the wreckage for some learning so we can avoid similar catastrophes...Here are my top five lessons, running from geopolitical and philosophical to corporate-level branding and strategy.
- [SAP and the Greening of a Service Business](https://andrewwinston.com/sap-and-the-greening-of-a-service-business/) - Last week I got an interesting view on how enterprise software giant SAP is pursuing a green agenda. Sustainability was a core theme at SAP's annual meeting SAPPHIRE NOW, a large gathering of over 16,000 CIOs and tech professionals.
- [New Supply Chain Mandates (Pepsi, P&G, IBM, others)](https://andrewwinston.com/new-supply-chain-mandates-pepsi-pg-ibm-others/) - A few days ago I posted a blog about Pepsi's work with suppliers on new low-carbon fertilizers for Tropicana orange juice. But there have been other major announcements lately about new supply chain demands as well. My monthly e-letter came out this week and covers Pepsi briefly, but also a few other stories from IBM,
- [Greening Pepsi, from Fertilizer to Bottles](https://andrewwinston.com/greening-pepsi-from-fertilizer-to-bottles/) - [This appeared first on my Harvard Business Review blog] Pepsi recently demonstrated its commitment to reducing its environmental impacts up and down the value chain with two rapid-fire announcements about new initiatives. The old-school approach to greening is to focus on operations within the proverbial "four walls." But Pepsi, like other leaders, is approaching sustainability
- [Oil Spill, CO2 Spill](https://andrewwinston.com/oil-spill-co2-spill/) - Al Gore wrote an article in the New Republic this week making an interesting connection between the oil spill and the continuing polluting of our atmosphere with carbon dioxide (thanks to Jason Scott for sending me the link). I suggest everyone read this piece. It's an important wake-up call. Here are a couple of the
- [Wal-Mart: The Largest (Sustainable) Company Ever](https://andrewwinston.com/wal-mart-the-largest-sustainable-company-ever/) - The 2010 Fortune 500 list just came out and I'm completely blown away by Wal-Mart's size. We all know that the retail giant is the largest company in the world. But it's by how much that gets me. Wal-Mart clocked in at $408 billion in revenues in 2009. The second-ranked Exxon Mobil, brought in $285

Graham's Recent Move Mean for Climate Legislation?](https://andrewwinston.com/what-does-sen-grahams-recent-move-mean-for-climate-legislation/) - In case you missed it, Senator Lindsay Graham, who has been a lone voice of reason on climate from the right side of the aisle, has threatened to derail the climate discussion and the bill that's supposedly coming out this week (some elements of the bill, as described by Senator Kerry, here). His problem is

I spent the week in DC, speaking at the EPA, moderating a plenary session at the Creating Climate Wealth event (from the Carbon War Room), and then ending my time with a White House reception
- [Avoiding Greenwash and its Dangers](https://andrewwinston.com/avoiding-greenwash-and-its-dangers/) - This week is the fortieth anniversary of Earth Day. The hype is unbelievably high as companies step all over themselves to share their latest sustainability accomplishments. In general, this is a good thing and it's wonderful to see companies competing on green. But there is a high risk of saying something that isn't quite true,

Just letting people know that I'll be at the Sustainable Brands conference in Monterrey, CA this June. I'll be MC-ing all day on June 9th. It's always a fun and educational event -- I don't go to many of the pure green events (I spend more time out with execs and industries which
- [My (Green) Midlife Crisis](https://andrewwinston.com/my-green-midlife-crisis/) - Well, I turned 40 this week (thanks for the many well-wishes). But I thought, maybe it's time for a midlife crisis...but a green one. I had a couple of ideas... I could buy a sports car, but it would have to be a Tesla. (Ain't that a thing of beauty!) Or I could go even
- [Can Anyone Explain This Offshore Drilling Decision?](https://andrewwinston.com/can-anyone-explain-this-offshore-drilling-decision/) - On the heels of one of the most active weeks in Presidential history, President Obama has confounded his supporters on the green side of the spectrum and opened up major areas of the U.S. coastline to offshore oil drilling. The reaction to the decision has been in some cases predictable, but often surprising -- the
- [Someone Tell the Meteorologists, Weather is NOT Climate](https://andrewwinston.com/someone-tell-the-meteorologists-weather-is-not-climate/) - There's an interesting/sad/frustrating piece in the NY Times today on the rift between meteorologists and climate scientists on the science of climate change. Basically, weathermen and women (weatherpeople?) are a much more skeptical lot on climate change than the vast majority of climatologists. Here are two of my favorite quotes from the article that say
- [The Coming Policy Debate Even Uglier Than Health Care](https://andrewwinston.com/the-coming-policy-debate-even-uglier-than-health-care/) - We are coming out of our long, national nightmare. One of the dirtiest political fights in memory is over (sort of). But if you think the health care debate got rough, wait until President Obama and Congress turn to energy and climate -- which they're most definitely going to do. You see, the worst claims
- [Three Quotes on Scientific Uncertainty/Errors About Climate](https://andrewwinston.com/three-quotes-on-scientific-uncertainty-errors-about-climate/) - The debate rages on about whether the science is 'clear' on climate, and whether the errors that have come to light recently cast doubt on the overall story (for example, the 'revelation' that one estimate of when glaciers would disappear is off -- we won't lose the glaciers by 2035). I've seen a couple metaphors/quotes
- [Extreme Denial - My Karmic Purgatory Tonight](https://andrewwinston.com/extreme-denial-my-karmic-purgatory-tonight/) - I must have done something wrong to someone today because I feel like I'm in some kind of surreal dream. The day started well with a great event hosted by Xerox in Dallas, talking sustainability with some leaders in the field. Then I ended up in two bizarre conversations during my travels home. This post
- [What "Small Government" Means in Real Life...](https://andrewwinston.com/what-small-government-means-in-real-life/) - This is what small government looks like on the ground. You can't fund anything that people have come to expect with no tax revenue. The Tea Party movement doesn't seem to understand this basic fact.
- [The Greening of the Olympics' Sponsors](https://andrewwinston.com/the-greening-of-the-olympics-sponsors/) - Every year, major sporting events get greener and the goals for renewable energy use, carbon-neutrality, or zero-waste get tougher. The Vancouver Olympics which just ended featured a large range of greening activities; the sustainability staff worked on them for years, producing sustainability reports as far back as 2007. In their bids for the 2016 Olympics,
- [Toyota, Getting Squished Like a Grape](https://andrewwinston.com/toyota-getting-squished-like-a-grape/) - Reality 1: Last year, the Toyota Prius was the bestselling car in Japan. On the back of innovations like the hybrid gas-electric engine, Toyota also became the largest car seller in the world by volume. Toyota is clearly the best, most forward-thinking auto company. Reality 2: During the same period, a number of Toyota models
- [I'm Cold Today...So There's No Global Warming](https://andrewwinston.com/im-cold-today-so-theres-no-global-warming/) - What do you call a group that uses large snowstorms to deride the scientific evidence for climate change? Fox News I guess. The absurdity of pointing out that there's snow in the winter -- in one part of the world mind you -- and using that to say that climate change is a hoax is

- [Failure at Copenhagen Doesn't Mean Businesses are Off the Hook](https://andrewwinston.com/failure-at-copenhagen-doesnt-mean-businesses-are-off-the-hook/) - It's been a couple months since the global climate negotiations in Copenhagen. Whether you're a fan of a global cap on carbon emissions or not, it's important to think about what COP15's failure means (that a global agreement is going to be unlikely in the near term) and what it doesn't mean for business (that
- [Adapting to a Warming World](https://andrewwinston.com/adapting-to-a-warming-world/) - No matter what happens in Copenhagen, or in the follow up meetings in Mexico and elsewhere, the world is warming. It's happening today, and even the majority of skeptics seem to agree on that point (often the debate is whether humans are behind it and how much money we should invest in "fixing" the problem). But the very real changes we're already seeing are prompting many in the climate-watching world to talk about not just reductions in emissions but "adaptation."
- [Top 10 Green Business Stories of 2009](https://andrewwinston.com/top-10-green-business-stories-of-2009/) - Happy New Year all (ok, I'm a bit delayed, but I entered the new year and promptly got really sick -- lost over a week in there). So let's start fresh now! Anyway, I took a bit of time at the end of 2009 and early 2010, with a couple weeks' perspective, to think about

But is climate change the only reason your business should reduce energy use and carbon emissions? Hardly. But first, let's get out of the way the "scandal" about hacked emails from climate

For each I give a quick rundown of what the world will look like and how business might need to respond. http://www.sustainablelifemedia.com/files/webform/documents/ecoadvantagestrategies12072009.htm Also, a

The Journal has given Lomborg a weekly op-ed for about 6 weeks to talk about how we shouldn't really tackle climate change. Here's how each of these weekly

As they say, you can't manage what you don't measure. And those with the best information can cut costs,

In the late 60s and 70s, rivers catching on fire and dense, opaque air above cities forced our attention on solving the pressing, tactical issues of air and
- [Five Ways to Use (Green) Data to Make Money](https://andrewwinston.com/five-ways-to-use-green-data-to-make-money/) - If you put an energy meter inside a home and show people total usage in real time, a miraculous thing happens: they use about 10 percent less energy. The simple act of placing data in front of people changes their behavior. Data makes people smarter and inspires them to make small changes to save money and energy. You can use this powerful tool in business not only to cut costs, but to drive innovation and revenues.
- [It Certainly is an Impressive Hoax: Making the World's Glaciers Melt](https://andrewwinston.com/it-certainly-is-an-impressive-hoax-making-the-worlds-glaciers-melt/) - The anger and energy of the climate skeptics is at a fever pitch lately. The breaking story that the Wall Street Journal loves so much is about one climate research center in the UK that may have been unwelcoming to contrary opinions. So the conspiracy theorists are all over this and are making the case
- [Finding the Money to Green Your Business](https://andrewwinston.com/finding-the-money-to-green-your-business/) - Contrary to the popular misconception that going green is expensive, in a very large range of cases, environmental initiatives don't raise costs, they lower them — and fast. In operational areas such as facilities (heating, cooling, lighting), fleet, IT, and waste, leading companies continue to find large savings in shockingly simple actions, such as changing
- [Consumer Behavior and Nudging](https://andrewwinston.com/consumer-behavior-and-nudging/) - Just a quick note about a great post today from sustainability writer Marc Gunther. He reports on a conference on behavior and climate change. How to change people's behavior is a thorny problem with no easy solution. But the work of thinkers like Dan Ariely (Predictably Irrational) and Richard Thaler/Cass Sunstein (Nudge) shows us that

The point of contention is a chapter about global warming which makes the case that Al Gore and others are too worried about the climate problem because the only way to solve it is to convince people

In the last month they all dropped out of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over the group's stance on climate-change legislation. Sadly, the Chamber's COO told the Wall Street Journal that these defections will not change the Chamber's misguided

Let's look at IT specifically and why
- [Get Lean on Stuff, Not People](https://andrewwinston.com/get-lean-on-stuff-not-people/) - This may be hard for anyone below 40 to fathom, but companies didn't always fire people to save money. IBM was famous for "full-time employment," but then its first layoffs in the early 90s changed the game forever. Over the last 20 years it has become (supposedly) good management practice to slash people costs —
- [Why the Military Is Going Green](https://andrewwinston.com/why-the-military-is-going-green/) - [This post originally appeared on Harvard Business Online here] In recent months, which radical, tree-hugging group has upped the volume on pushing for action on climate change? I bet you wouldn't have guessed American military leaders. Apparently, the people standing on the proverbial (and actual) walls defending our freedoms are very concerned about the dangers

CFL's "Probably" Reduce Energy Use?](https://andrewwinston.com/exxon-is-green-cfls-probably-reduce-energy-use/) - Excuse a brief rant about what seems to be a rise in ridiculous cover stories and op-eds.

This kind of nonsense is happening on all topics (do

- [Why This Is the Right Time to Go Green](https://andrewwinston.com/why-this-is-the-right-time-to-go-green/) - [New post on Harvard Business.org here] The green movement may be at risk of slowing down, especially within the business community. Many business people hold on to an outdated view of green: the misconception that environmental practices always cost a lot of money. So logically, in this economy they're asking, "Is this really the time

I believe that we're rapidly entering an era of radical openness, driven both by regulation -- see the EPAs recent announcement that it plans to "ask" 13,000 facilities in the United States to share data on carbon emissions -- and the rising demands of employees and customers, particularly the younger ones. The new level of transparency will make any of us old enough to remember a world before MTV uncomfortable. But the Facebook and MySpace generation will have no problem with it -- in fact, they'll be expecting it.
- [What's Your Heresy?](https://andrewwinston.com/whats-your-heresy/) - Can a plane fly with no jet fuel? Ridiculous, right? But the aviation industry is starting to ask itself this very question. In early 2008, Virgin Airlines and Boeing launched a test flight where one engine ran partly on biofuels, in this case coconut oil. I've done some work with Boeing and heard their environmental
- [Green to Gold in Paperback...](https://andrewwinston.com/green-to-gold-in-paperback/) - Hi all, Just a quick note to my blog readers... The Green to Gold paperback is available now. We've revised, updated, and added some stories throughout. We also included a FAQs at the back and a new preface with themes/ideas we've seen growing over the last couple of years. If you haven't gotten it yet,
- [2009: The Year of Light Green](https://andrewwinston.com/2009-the-year-of-light-green/) - It's always fun to predict what's going to happen. The risk of being spectacularly wrong is very high, but that's what makes the exercise so entertaining. 'Tis the season for dwelling, quickly, on what we learned last year -- de-leveraging is really painful and when gas prices are high, people want smaller cars -- and
- [Exxon Goes Green?](https://andrewwinston.com/exxon-goes-green/) - I never thought I'd say it, but I agree with Exxon on an environmental issue. The CEO, Rex Tillerson, called for a carbon tax yesterday. As the Wall Street Journal reported... Rex Tillerson said that a tax was a "more direct, a more transparent and a more effective approach" to curtailing greenhouse gases than other
- [Apparently, It's the Government's Fault Detroit Is Bankrupt](https://andrewwinston.com/apparently-its-the-governments-fault-detroit-is-bankrupt/) - Sometimes I think the Wall Street Journal editors are phoning it in. In a piece titled, "The Environmental Motor Company: Making Detroit a subsidiary of the Sierra Club," the Journal complained about those horrible Democrats in Congress that want to tie the $25 billion in loans to Detroit to "green retooling." I guess pushing U.S.
- [The Green Wave Marches On: Wal-Mart in China](https://andrewwinston.com/the-green-wave-marches-on-wal-mart-in-china/) - You might think that the powerful green wave changing business will subside in a recession. True, some investments might wait a bit, but most companies I talk to are pushing ahead with the sustainability agenda. One important example is Wal-Mart, which doesn't seem to be slowing down. I recently attended the Wal-Mart Sustainability Summit in
- [Do "Quality" Carbon Offsets Exist?](https://andrewwinston.com/do-quality-carbon-offsets-exist/) - Everybody wants to reduce their carbon footprint these days. But many companies have looked to the quick fix of buying carbon offsets. While this practice may slow down as the recession continues, the debate will continue to rage about what makes a quality offset, and there's the rub.
- [$500 Oil? Why Not $1,000? Does It Matter?](https://andrewwinston.com/500-oil-why-not-1000-does-it-matter/) - Everybody in the world should read a new Fortune article about Matt Simmons, the oil analyst turned peak-oil prophet. As a lifelong Republican, Bush campaign and energy policy contributor, and Houston-based oil guy, he's an unusual leader of the peak oil theorists. Simmons has become convinced that Saudi Arabia and others don't have as much
- [Green Business and "Compliance" -- the Government is the Least of Your Worries](https://andrewwinston.com/green-business-and-compliance-the-government-is-the-least-of-your-worries/) - Bank Of America, bpa, compliance, Diesel Vehicles, environment, Green Business, Home Depot, lead in toys, phthalates, regulations, sears, target, Toys "R" Us, wal-mart
- [Are These Energy-Saving Measures Wise...or Wacky?](https://andrewwinston.com/are-these-energy-saving-measures-wise-or-wacky/) - As we all know, energy prices have skyrocketed. Organizations of all kinds are trying new ways of doing business to cut costs. Some ideas, like Wal-Mart putting doors on refrigerated cases and cutting energy use 70% in that aisle, are head-slappingly obvious. Even seemingly wacky ideas can seem downright wise once you run the numbers.
- [Pitching Climate Change to Consumers](https://andrewwinston.com/pitching-climate-change-to-consumers/) - Recently I wrote about the rise of "conflicted consumers" who want greener options but don't want to go too far out of their way to get it. Is this fairly passive commitment to greener buying going to drive enough change to tackle problems as large as climate change? Some organizations seem to think not. A
- [Will Your Company Predict the Future Like GM or Like Toyota?](https://andrewwinston.com/will-your-company-predict-the-future-like-gm-or-like-toyota/) - I don't mean to pile onto a disaster in the making, but the demise of the "Big Three" automakers is hard to turn away from (like, yes, a car wreck). It also perfectly demonstrates the dangers, and opportunities, stemming from the green wave sweeping the business world. While Japanese companies prepared for a resource-constrained future,
- [Home Depot Solves and Eco-Problem](https://andrewwinston.com/home-depot-solves-and-eco-problem/) - This post first appeared at Harvard Business Online. Home Depot announced last week that it will collect and recycle compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) in nearly 2,000 of its stores. This is great news since it eases the transition to low-energy bulbs by solving a big customer problem: what do I do with this bulb
- [Conflicted Consumers](https://andrewwinston.com/conflicted-consumers/) - This post first appeared at Harvard Business Online. How green are consumers in the U.S.? On one level, we haven't really changed all that much. Many pundits argue persuasively that without the rapid rise in energy prices, people wouldn't be buying smaller cars. And outside of some specific product markets, such as organic food, few
- [Free Market Double-Talk](https://andrewwinston.com/free-market-double-talk/) - [First published on Huffington Post] The U.S. Senate's latest attempt at tackling climate change, the Warner-Lieberman bill, went down this month...again. The complaints of the opponents ranged from fear of higher energy prices to concerns about how the government will use the money collected when permits to emit carbon are sold. But the biggest concern
- [Greener B-Schools, Greener Employees](https://andrewwinston.com/greener-b-schools-greener-employees/) - This post first appeared at Harvard Business Online. As an opening post on Harvard Business.org, I figure no topic could be more appropriate than the change happening at Harvard, among other places. I'm talking about the big shift in what business schools are teaching students and, more importantly, what those future business leaders want from
- [Resistance to Change is Blind](https://andrewwinston.com/resistance-to-change-is-blind/) - [Originally posted here on Huffington] Recently the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in D.C. upheld a ruling that our currency violates the law - it will need to change to accommodate the blind (unlike most currencies, the size of each U.S. denomination is the same so you can't tell by touch how much you're holding).
- [Better Get Efficient...and Fast](https://andrewwinston.com/better-get-efficient-and-fast/) - [Posted at Huffington here] It's pretty clear that the business world is facing dramatic change driven by environmental concerns. Over the coming years and decades, we're going to change the entire energy system and find new ways to design, make, ship, sell, and consume things. While it's uncertain if quality of life will suffer (and
- [Do You Need to "Believe" in Climate Change?](https://andrewwinston.com/do-you-need-to-believe-in-climate-change/) - [originally posted on huffingtonpost here] Another Earth Day is here (and gone). It's probably trite to say, "Hey, every day is Earth Day, but I'll give it a go. Yes, we need to worry about Earth stuff every day, but not just because the planet is in peril — which is a pretty good reason.

Just letting you know that i'm giving a version of my keynote Green to Gold talk at a free webinar being held by WebEx. See www.webex.com/go/workgreen30 for more details and to sign up. Andrew
- [Large-Scale Green Business Risk](https://andrewwinston.com/large-scale-green-business-risk/) - [posted here in Huffington Post] I wrote a few weeks ago about Virgin Airline's biofuel test flight. While it was a bit of a publicity stunt, it was also a good thing — we need experimentation to find ways to reduce carbon emissions in all industries. But another news item HuffPo linked to this week
- [Virgin Air Flying on Fumes?](https://andrewwinston.com/virgin-air-flying-on-fumes/) - On Sunday, Virgin Airlines flew a jumbo jet from London to Amsterdam powered in part by coconuts ("a biofuel mixture of coconut and babassu oil" to be more precise). Some would say the applicable part of that sentence is "nuts." Is this another wacky Richard Branson moment, or something legitimate and important? Or, as is all things Branson, maybe it's both?
- [Moving Along](https://andrewwinston.com/moving-along/) - NAVL is an old-style business, 75 years old this year. But I heard some new talk from one member who's been sprinting down the Green to Gold path.
- [MBAs: Your Future (Green?) Execs](https://andrewwinston.com/mbas-your-future-green-execs/) - PR firm Hill & Knowlton talked to MBA students globally and asked them what factors would influence career and job choice....BusinessWeek looked at this and declared "Green Isn't Gold for MBAs" and pointed out that green stuff is at the bottom. Now, color me optimistic, but I think these numbers -- 49% on CSR and 34% on green -- are actually pretty high.
- [Russia Rising?](https://andrewwinston.com/russia-rising/) - A couple of weeks ago TIME Magazine surprised many with its pick for Person of the Year not Al Gore, who they probably figured had run out of room on his mantel, but Vladimir Putin. The story was about the rise of Russia back into the top rungs of global powerhouses. The choice was interesting
- [2008, The Wave Continues](https://andrewwinston.com/2008-the-wave-continues/) - The New Year is always a time for taking stock, looking both back and forward. How did your company handle the shifting sands for business in 2007, the greening of society? Companies across many industry groups were scrambling and strategizing about how to best manage the environmental impacts of everything they do. Green issues were huge in '07 (see my upcoming strategy e-letter on the crushing flow of media to green issues in 2007 here in a few days), 2007 was just the beginning. It was not a fad — or a bad dream for some — but a fundamental shift in how we all do business...But the tipping point year is over now and the game is on. So what environmentally-driven challenges and questions will your business face in 2008 and how will you handle them?
- [Green Cleaning Revolution](https://andrewwinston.com/green-cleaning-revolution/) - I'm incredibly excited about cleaning floors at the moment. Ok, stay with me. I spoke at a large convention last week, the International Sanitary Supplies Association. It may not sound like there would be much green action, but there is definitely cutting-edge innovation happening back in the supply chain hidden from view. I saw what
- [BusinessWeek Moves the Debate](https://andrewwinston.com/businessweek-moves-the-debate/) - Well, it was bound to happen around now. Once every magazine had done a cover story on the wonders of going green (my previous post here), the media had to turn on itself and declare it all a sham. It's the normal course of things. BusinessWeek's cover this week, "Little Green Lies," certainly tries to
- [Picks and Shovels in the Green Wal-Mart Era](https://andrewwinston.com/picks-and-shovels-in-the-green-wal-mart-era/) - The mad dash of companies trying to come to the aid of the Fortune 1000 (in particular, Wal-Mart's suppliers) in their new green quest reminds me of any gold rush throughout history. The consultants are now competing to offer picks and shovels for this new green age.
- [The Ripple Effect](https://andrewwinston.com/the-ripple-effect/) - First off, I apologize for the long blog silence. While I'm sure you're not waiting on baited breath, I do like to keep writing. There's been a lot going on in the green realm. The world's biggest economies are meeting this week to possibly, maybe, at some point in the future think about reducing emissions.
- [RMI 25th, Part II (Optimism)](https://andrewwinston.com/rmi-25th-part-ii-optimism/) - "Sustainability, once you get past the gloom and doom warnings about environmental issues, is fundamentally an optimistic pursuit — a vision of a healthier, stronger world for all"
- [Big Business = Evil?](https://andrewwinston.com/big-business-evil/) - [This is a longer version of a response I'm posting on Huffington Post to a fairly ridiculous column about how evil former Sierra Club president Adam Werbach is for working with Wal-Mart (as featured in Fast Company this week). See the debate here ] It's far more likely Mr. Schechter is living in Wonderland than
- [Rocky Mountain Institute 25th, Part I](https://andrewwinston.com/rocky-mountain-institute-25th-part-i/) - Last week I spent a couple of days at the RMI 25th anniversary gala, celebrating a quarter century of cutting-edge thinking from Amory Lovins (and many others who have passed through his halls). I was honored to speak on a panel (I spoke a bit about the seeming oxymoron of corporate environmentalism -- see previous

- [Whole Transparent Foods](https://andrewwinston.com/whole-transparent-foods/) - The bizarre story of Whole Foods' CEO John Mackey is very educational. In case you missed it (which would be hard), Mackey was using the internet in ways that he shouldn't. No, this wasn't another sex scandal. Operating under the name "Rahodeb", for years Mackey was posting comments on Yahoo Finance investor boards, taking shots
- [Say it Ain't So, Toyota!](https://andrewwinston.com/say-it-aint-so-toyota/) - For quite some time, I have been trumpeting Toyota as perhaps the best company in the world. The combination of the most successful eco-product ever (Prius), the leanest manufacturing, and top-notch marketing make the company extremely hard to beat. But now we're seeing a disturbing trend around their new hybrids. This past weekend, The New
- [Implications of Live Earth (Hello Consumers)](https://andrewwinston.com/implications-of-live-earth-hello-consumers/) - It was hard to miss the hoop-la around Live Earth, the mega-concert on all seven continents on 7.7.07. I'm not sure if they really hit the two billion viewer mark (seems hard to measure that), or what the long-term impact of Live Earth will end up being in reality, but Al Gore did declare it
- ["Detroit Blinked" (A Little Late)](https://andrewwinston.com/detroit-blinked-a-little-late/) - The New York Times reported today that after many years of fighting it, the auto giants are finally asking for an increase in the average fuel economy of their fleets (or the CAFE standard). Of course, it wasn't all that voluntary. As the article reported "Longtime backers in Washington made it clear that the political
- [$20 Bills Everywhere (or, The Greening of IT, Part I)](https://andrewwinston.com/20-bills-everywhere-or-the-greening-of-it-part-i/) - A few weeks ago I took part in an event that IBM held to announce its new green initiative. The focus was on data centers, those large buildings filled with servers that power all of our Internet searches and emails among other things. Any company depending on technology and large stores of data (and that
- [A Visit to Shanghai](https://andrewwinston.com/a-visit-to-shanghai/) - I just got back from a speaking engagement in Shanghai, China. I can confidently report that greening is a global phenomenon. It's almost a cliché now to say that the battle to save our planet and ourselves will be won or lost in China, but it's still true. The country is growing so fast --
- [Bentonville and the Future of Commerce](https://andrewwinston.com/bentonville-and-the-future-of-commerce/) - I went down to Wal-Mart headquarters this weekend to do my Green to Gold talk for the Sam's Club management. I had a unique experience in that the other speaker was Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning, so over half the audience was made up of the kids of all the execs -- so climate change
- [Green Innovation Goes Mainstream](https://andrewwinston.com/green-innovation-goes-mainstream/) - This week's issue of BusinessWeek focuses on what the magazine calls the "25 Most Innovative Companies." There's a strong green tint to the list. From the 1-page summary of the 25 with two lines on why each company deserves the accolade, here's a few examples/excerpts. — #3 Toyota: "Toyota's dominance in hybrids could lead to

- [All the Right Moves: Toyota vs. Honda](https://andrewwinston.com/all-the-right-moves-toyota-vs-honda/) - I've been thinking a lot lately about what really makes a company a green leader. Take the car business. Many green business pundits (including me) have been crowing about Toyota. But the somewhat shameful performance of the auto CEOs in D.C. recently (see related posts here and here) bothered me. There was Toyota sitting with
- ["Radical Transparency"](https://andrewwinston.com/radical-transparency/) - A recent Wired magazine cover declared that we're all "naked": almost nothing is hidden from view anymore. They use the examples of CEOs and other employees blogging from within companies and they use the fantastic phrase to describe this new trend, "radical transparency." I couldn't agree more: the signs are everywhere Examples from recent history
- [The Supremes Take Action on CO2](https://andrewwinston.com/the-supremes-take-action-on-co2/) - Of course the big news today is the 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court that CO2 and other greenhouse gases are in fact pollutants under the Clean Air Act (Times coverage here). The Wall Street Journal called the decision, "the latest sign that greenhouse gases are about to affect U.S. industry and the economy in

A baseball player knee deep in water and a series of articles about how climate will change the way we play games, and even where we play them. Taking the high-end predictions about sea level rise almost as a given (which

I had the pleasure of attending the quarterly Sustainability Milestone Meeting at Wal-Mart a few days ago (thank you to Marc Major and Jib Ellison at BluSkye for the invite). The energy in the room was really something. Wal-Mart is
- [Worth Admiring](https://andrewwinston.com/worth-admiring/) - When I saw the cover of Fortune's latest issue trumpeting America's Most Admired companies, I noticed right away that the top three -- GE, Starbucks, Toyota -- are very much known for being green (or at the very least, talking about it a lot). I was all ready to make this most brilliant of points
- [Left Hand, Meet the Right: GE and Trains](https://andrewwinston.com/left-hand-meet-the-right-ge-and-trains/) - Nobody who consumes any mass media could miss GE's ecomagination advertisements. From sexy (supermodels in coal mines pushing clean coal) to downright clever (fisherman "catching" desalinated water in bottles), these ads have been everywhere for nearly 2 years. In Green to Gold, ecomagination is used as a key example of driving intangible value with a
- [On the Right Side of History (The Amazing TXU Story)](https://andrewwinston.com/on-the-right-side-of-history-the-amazing-txu-story/) - An incredible story has been unfolding over the last few days. The Texas utility TXU is potentially being bought by private equity firms (including the famed KKR) for $45 billion. The fact that this would be the largest private buyout in history is shockingly not the main story. No, the focus is on how these
- [Pure vs. Practical and a $25MM Prize](https://andrewwinston.com/pure-vs-practical-and-a-25mm-prize/) - I did a radio interview last week in San Francisco with Pete Wilson (the ABC TV anchor for the 6 o'clock news). We had a broad conversation about the environment in general, but he posed one really interesting question about business. He was musing about how environmentalists tend to want only the greenest solutions --
- [Is "Environment" a Market or an Idea?](https://andrewwinston.com/is-environment-a-market-or-an-idea/) - I had an interesting discussion with a client recently about how to think about the environment as a business opportunity. Is it a market like any other...one you can "size" by revenues, or profile the competitors? Or is it an idea, a theme shaping business? In the end, I felt that trying to "size" the

Many companies now talk about having a climate strategy. But it raises an obvious question: What is a climate change strategy? It's not a trivial question but it's very hard to
- [Wal-Mart Saves the World.  Really.](https://andrewwinston.com/wal-mart-saves-the-world-really/) - Today the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the most thorough and non-partisan study out there, releases its latest omnibus on the science of climate change. I can't say I've read the 1,700 some-odd pages, but I'm guessing that it's a "who-done-it" and the answer is us. The New York Times reports that the scientists
- [Jumbo Shrimp](https://andrewwinston.com/jumbo-shrimp/) - The constant media attention and announcements from big business on greening initiatives has me dizzy, and a bit philosophical... Not that long ago the idea of "green business" seemed oxymoronic -- like jumbo shrimp. How could you be in favor of business doing well and want a safe, healthy environment? But times are changing quickly.
- [UK Retailers Raise the Bar With Staggering Green Goals](https://andrewwinston.com/uk-retailers-raise-the-bar-with-staggering-green-goals/) - In an interesting coincidence, two large, UK-based retailers -- Marks & Spencer ($13.5B sales) and Tesco ($68.7B sales) -- have made big green announcements in the last week or so (a good post on this by UK's Forum for the Future CEO Peter Madden, here). The goals they've laid out are aggressive, creative, comprehensive, and
- [Eco-Advantage and the Climate Action Partnership](https://andrewwinston.com/eco-advantage-and-the-climate-action-partnership/) - My last post notwithstanding, the recent announcement of the new Climate Action Partnership is seismic. It's potentially a watershed moment in the battle on climate change. And it's novel as heck because large companies are coming together to lobby for tighter regulations. Let's look at the corporate participants: Alcoa, BP America, Caterpillar, Duke Energy, DuPont,
- [Powerful New Stakeholders...U.S. and China](https://andrewwinston.com/powerful-new-stakeholders-u-s-and-china/) - Today the Wall Street Journal reported on an important partnership between the NRDC and some big companies (Alcoa, DuPont, GE, Duke Energy, and others) to lobby Congress and President Bush on climate change. They want action, including a possible cap on emissions. Now this is legitimately big news in both green and regular business news.
- [It's Over. Now Let's Get Going.](https://andrewwinston.com/its-over-now-lets-get-going/) - The UK's Guardian, among others, is reporting that President Bush will make a u-turn on climate change in the upcoming State of the Union Address. Bloggers are of course picking this up, along with the story that Exxon is dropping its support for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the geniuses behind the ads "We Call it

Seth writes... In yesterday's NY Times Week in Review, William Hamilton engages in a 1,000 word sneer against compact fluorescent light bulbs. It makes me wonder: 1.
- [Let Us All Bow to Toyota](https://andrewwinston.com/let-us-all-bow-to-toyota/) - Just a month ago I wrote about GM chasing Toyota. It's worth a quick holiday post to repeat the message here -- Toyota is killing the competition, and eco-advantage is at the core of this historic success. Here are two headlines from the New York Times in the last 5 days. Toyota Is Poised to

The story is about electronics makers dealing with the European Union's Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, otherwise known at RoHS (or "rose", helpful site put up by the UK government here). We highlight this directive, along with WEEE and REACH, in Green to

After its safety missteps (with tragic loss of employee life) and pipeline leaks, many people are asking whether BP can be considered a green, responsible company anymore (see my previous post).

Oddly, the company has so far only launched a website devoted

New Hybrids, diesels, and hydrogen prototypes are all over the place. And GM is leading the charge, doing a big 180 degree turn from its recent days of dismissing hybrids. CEO Rick Wagoner

Starting next year, the average electric bill will go up $16 per year ($46 for business), raising close to $7 million over the next 5 years. As the Times put it, The tax is to pay for

I was online booking some flights (still enjoying the Terrapass option on Expedia -- see previous post here), and some rental cars. I had read that Hertz began offering cars in a "Green Collection," a parallel to some other offerings, including the "Fun Collection" with convertibles and such.
- [China, A Terrifying Opportunity](https://andrewwinston.com/china-a-terrifying-opportunity/) - Some stories over the past few days tell an interesting tale. First, as Thomas Friedman has been sounding the alarm, twice in the last 5 days (here and here), China's environmental problems are a serious threat to its own growth, and to the entire world. A long piece in the NY Times this weekend described

Customers can buy cards, which look like store value or gift cards, that pay for $5 or $10 of wind energy. It's purely a renewable energy credit (REC) and doesn't buy you anything
- [The Search for Intangible Value](https://andrewwinston.com/the-search-for-intangible-value/) - I spent the last few days at the Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) Conference in NYC. This is one of the biggest sustainability conferences, with CEOs like Time Warner's Dick Parsons and Coca-Cola's Neville Isdell giving keynote addresses--plus lots of smaller sessions on everything from human rights to creating successful environmental strategies (that would be
- ["Wall Street Doesn't Get It"](https://andrewwinston.com/wall-street-doesnt-get-it/) - Companies are facing pressure to go green from all over.
