| "The time has come
to dispel the notion that being green is bad for business. If
saving the planet isn't reason enough, there's another incentive
for companies to contribute to sustainable development - it
will boost productivity and ultimately profits." Bob
Willard, The Sustainability Advantage
At Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt, we are ardent admirers
of the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. We are grateful to
live and work amidst its streams, rivers, mountains and trees.
We appreciate the clean air and water, the abundant plants
and wildlife as well as the striking territorial views. But,
more than anything, as a socially-responsible business, we
know that we cannot take this beauty for granted.
Today, the team at Schwabe is increasingly mindful of the
impact that our ecological footprint has on the local –
as well as global – environment. We understand that
what we do collectively as a firm to become more sustainable
can have a tremendous impact – both on the world and
our business. The concept of sustainable business is one that
we strive for on a daily basis, as we work to balance people,
profits and planet. Collaborating with such leaders as Axis
Consulting and Oregon Natural
Step, we are learning how to walk with lighter steps.
