Life on earth is more than simply sustainable; it's regenerative. Life is interconnected and
interdependent, and the species that survive and thrive on earth are ones that integrate and
optimize strategies to create conditions conducive to life over billions of years.

•Harvard Business School Study: Investing $1 in the beginning of 1993 in a value-weighted (equal-weighted) portfolio of sustainable firms would have grown to $22.6 ($14.3) by the end of 2010, based on market prices. In contrast, investing $1 in the beginning of 1993 in a value-weighted (equal-weighted) portfolio of traditional firms would have only grown to $15.4 ($11.7) by the end of 2010.
•MIT: Research on responsible and irresponsible environmental behavior by U.S. publicly-traded companies from 1980 to 2009 found that companies experienced an average abnormal stock price increase of 0.84% in the two days following an announcement of eco-friendly behavior. Likewise, investors punished companies for eco-harmful events with a corresponding abnormal return of -0.65%.
