| "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.
