The name of the WBCSD is quite literal: it’s an organization of about 200 companies working together to share ideas and techniques on sustainable development, as well as to encourage more companies to work on their own sustainability plans. Stigson not only runs the group, but he also advises the Chinese government, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, the Clinton Global Initiative and the Global Reporting Initiative (whew!). Among other achievements in 2007, Stigson secured commitments from twelve multinational corporations to move beyond corporate philanthropy and search for responsible, sustainable and inclusive business models that are good for both business and development. Hey, that sounds a lot like Ethisphere’s tagline of “Good. Smart. Business. Profit.” We’ll keep an eye out for our royalties check.
