Michael Townsend said… - Kim, I would be keen to explore links between your "Profit With Purpose" Network and the online community we have established for businesses looking to integrate sustainability principles in order to benefit their top line, bottom line and the planet. Please feel free to join www.globalsustainablebusiness.org. The site is also used to share the lessons and outputs from our global research project "In Search of... Sustainable Business". I look forward to hearing back from you with your views.
Kind regards, Michael.
