It is possible to protect profits and the planet. Despite claims that a win for the environment is a loss for the economy, corporations are finding innovative ways to have it both ways. Companies are realizing that protecting watersheds and ecosystems can also protect their business.
Levi’s, for example, needs to think about water supplies necessary to grow cotton for its clothes. Companies in many sectors are realizing the changing climate means they need to pay closer attention to the relationship between natural capital and financial capital.
