Recent News

In a lofty address that at times resembled a campaign speech, the chief executive of Wal-Mart Stores, H. Lee Scott, said that “we live in a time when people are losing confidence in the ability of government to solve problems.” But Wal-Mart, he said, “does not wait for someone else to solve problems.” Mr. Horowitz said Wal-Mart had room to improve, however. Its next goal, he said, should be to stop selling the least energy-efficient products, rather than simply introducing better models.

Pioneer in Green Business, Anita Roddick Dies

Written by David Neubert

The founder of The Body Shop, (now part of L'Oreal Group - LRLCY.PK) Anita Roddick died yesterday in England. She was one of the real pioneers in a business that tried to treat animals, the planet, their workers, their producers and shareholders in a fair way and still make a profit. I think she has been an inspiration to many and that her business process will live on.
