Many experts have been observing in recent months that innovating for sustainability seems to be approaching mainstream attention, particularly at Fortune 500 companies and among forward-looking social entrepreneurs. The growth of the Sustainable Brands community certainly supports that claim, with an audience of over 2,800 boasting more than $4 Trillion in combined annual revenue represented at SB’13 earlier this summer.
