Its a

23、environmental footprints in meaningful ways. Theres both a consumer push and an increasingly strong economic case for doing so. On the consumer side, we have a general population with unprecedented access to data and information about companies and their operations. Anyone who chooses to do some dig
24、ging into the environmental practices of a specific company can often create a pretty clear picture of where that company falls on the Green spectrum. From an economic standpoint, ever-increasing energy and materials costs are pushing companies to streamline their operations, eliminate waste, and re
25、duce energy consumption as much as possible.2 | The Greenest Link: A Look Into the FutureIts the year 2025. As LCA and value-chain assessments have grown more robust and detailed over the years, so too has the level of transparency and accountability in the marketplace. The methods by which we measu
26、re and track environmental data have become so effective that every individual around the world can measure his or her environmental footprint. Worldwide, an Eco-Point system has been implemented to help people track, WeightWatchers style, their impact on the environment so that they can budget thei

Read the news online instead of in print? -1 Point. 2 | The Greenest Link: A Look Into the FutureOrganizations are graded on not just their operations, but on the behavior of
28、their employees as well. The Greenest organizations are those whose operations, value chains, products, services, and employees have the smallest aggregated impact.Certain Green leaders, such as Whole Foods and Toyota, have mandated that employees each spend no more than 1000 Points per week (the am

Employees begin to list their Eco-Points on their rsums and CVs, and these figures are validated as part of the standard background check performed by HR .2 | The Greenest Link: Where Were Head
30、edOver the next few years, organizations are going to realize compelling economic reasons for going Green. Some will find that Green means lower-costs in terms of raw materials and energy; others will realize increased profits and demand due to new contracts with other institutions who require Green
31、 suppliers and vendors. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) reporting will grow increasingly robust and detailed as organizations seek to communicate the level of Green theyve accomplished to their customers, partners, and shareholders. 2 | The Greenest Link: What Does It Mean For You?What is one

It reflects GEs commitment to invest in innovative solutions to environmental challenges, and helps GE develop and deliver valuable, environmentall

Ecomagination focuses on the development of renewable energy sources, water purification initiatives, carbon capture and sequestration systems, and alternative transportation systems.3 | The Green Seeds of Innovation: A Case in Point
40、3 | The Green Seeds of Innovation: A Case in PointGE: EcomaginationIn 2007, GE invested more than $1 billion on cleaner technology R&D, moving the company closer to its goal of investing $1.5 billion annually in Ecomagination R&D initiatives by 2021. In 2007, GE achieved approximately 15% growth in
41、Ecomagination revenues over 2006, from $12 billion to $14 billion. Due to the programs overwhelming success over the past few years, GE forecasts it will surpass $20 billion by 2021 and is consequently raising the annual Ecomagination revenue goal to $25 billion by 2021.While extensions, enhancement
42、s, and carbon offsets will play a major role in making Green a little more mainstream, its the disruptive end of the eco-innovation spectrum thats most exciting and perhaps the most promising in the long term. Over the next few years, well see organizations use their drive to go Green as a platform
43、for truly disruptive change. Size, experience, and brand name will be less important to success in the marketplace than the magnitude of innovation that some companies attainand breakthroughs will be born across industries, presenting solutions to some of our most seemingly-intractable environmental

Organizations have an opportunity, through Green, to build strong, lasting relationships with thei
49、r audiences. The issue is that the eco-customer isnt any one person or customer type. Customers dont all agree on what Green actually means.Organizations that personalize Green by getting to the heart of their customers motivations, fears, and hopes will emerge as the Green market leaders in the yea
50、rs ahead.Companies today often take a broad, mass-market approach to Green. By trying to appeal to the widest possible audience, many end up diluting their commitments and environmental messages to a point at which messages become unclear and lacking in sincerity.4 | Green Goes Niche: Where We AreOp
