Presenter(s): Ray Anderson Session Length: 0:45 Event: DevelopGREEN: Sustainable Solutions for Commercial Real Estate Date: March 12-13, 2008
Ray Anderson experienced an epiphany when he first read Paul Hawken's The Ecology of Commerce, seeking inspiration for a speech on the company's environmental vision. Thirteen years later, Interface Inc. is approximately 40 percent to its target of "Mission Zero," the journey no one would have imagined for the company or the petroleum-intensive industry of carpet manufacturing that has been forever changed by Anderson's vision. Anderson is a highly sought-after speaker and advisor on various ecological issues, has served as co-chairman of the President's Council on Sustainable Development and was recently named one of Time magazine's Heroes of the Environment. Hear Anderson as he shares his views and experience in "going green" and his vision of sustainability for the future.
