Burns, Ursula M. “Is the Green Movement a Passing Fancy? – BusinessWeek.” BusinessWeek – Business News, Stock Market & Financial Advice. 27 Jan. 2009. 13 Oct. 2009.

This is an article written by the President of Xerox, a popular printing company who would be especially pressured by the Green activists to treat their waste and materials in an environmentally conscious way. This article was especially helpful because it took into consideration the current state of the economy, and discussed factors and surveys which portrayed less and less corporations taking Green into consideration as a result of the economy. The author supports sustainable practices and environmental responsibility now more than ever, and shows readers statistical evidence that there is “no turning back,” and that this is no time to cut Green investments.

This article surveys corporate America, from car dealerships to hotel chains, to see specifically how their implementation of Green practices has positively affected their bottom-line. USA Today is able to analyze the profits which each of these very successful companies have turned due to their use of Green, and addresses these positive figures in order to present an argument very much in favor of the Green movement. This article is different from others because it recognizes sustainable practices as having a large influence on the bottom-line, as opposed to just being used for PR, which is often why most companies are hesitant to initiate a Green program.

Kamila, Avery Y. “Timberland goes beyond philanthropy: Building value for community and brand with volunteers.” Ethical Corporation 13 Feb. 2004: 8-11.

This article from 2004 discusses the ideas and theories of one of the pioneers of the Green movement within business, the CEO of Timberland, Jeff Swartz. His main argument for implementing sustainable practices into business is to gain brand loyalty of customers, as he has found that those companies who remain transparent and seem to really care about their community will be more productive in the long run. In the interview, Swartz discusses why most companies are worried about taking the leap into Green, mostly because of Green-washing and harsh critics, and tries to show them that this is the future—whoever takes quality action first will stand above the rest.
