Sustainability - business opportunities for many

The Green Revolution of the 21st century will help realise the twin goals of
economic and sustainable growth. Like the Industrial Revolution and the
Information Revolution before it, the Green Revolution promises to usher in
a period of significant change for business. Driving the Green Revolution
will be a new sense of value amongst consumers and businesses. Against the
backdrop of better environmental regulation, we'll see an increasing
recognition for businesses that offer better products at a lower
environmental cost. However, to those businesses who are struggling with
meeting their environmental commitment, the important thing to remember is
that economic pressures will ease but environmental pressures will not.
Additionally, those environmental pressures will shape demand for products
and services for many years to come
