Reap The Rewards

CSR products and repackaging in the USA has instigated a multi-billion dollar industry ($31.7 billion), generating new products and revenue.

"General Electric (GE) has emerged as another powerful agent of market transformation, particularly on energy-related issues. Annual sales of energy-efficient products are more than $11 billion, and sales are expected to double again in the next several years. Nike issued a new report addressing their environmental supply chain initiatives, saying they are going to reshape their supply chain management the same way the human rights abuse issues changed their policy 10 years ago. Wal-Mart has taken steps to improve its environmental performance, including working to be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy, creating zero waste and selling products that sustain natural resources and the environment."²
 

"Networking will account for more than 87 percent of all business in the marketplace."
