Confessions of a Radical Industrialist

“America’s greenest CEO” and the hero of the award-winning documentary The Corporation makes the urgent, compelling case that sustainable business pays.

In 1994, Interface founder and chairman Ray Anderson set an audacious goal for his commercial carpet company: to take nothing from the earth that can’t be replaced by the earth. Fifteen years later, he had cut his company's greenhouse emissions by 82%, cut water use by 75%, cut waste by 66%, all while doubling earnings and raising profit margins!

Now, in the most inspiring business book of our time, Anderson leads the way forward and challenges all of industry to share that goal. With practical ideas and measurable outcomes that every business can use, Anderson shows that profit and sustainability are not mutually exclusive; businesses can improve their bottom lines while doing right by the earth.
