• Sustainability Strategies: Keeping your Business Alive and Well
  

  Internationally acclaimed Evolution Biologist Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris shows that the way we do business in the world today is closely related to our scientific/cultural understanding of an inevitable evolutionary struggle in scarcity. Historical perspective, however shows that this evolution theory was rooted more in the political economy of Darwin's day than in scientific observation. An updated scientific story of evolution shows this mode to be obsolete, inefficient, expensive and dangerous. The biology of sustainable, value-creating natural systems, from our own bodies to rainforests, has direct application to how businesses will work in the future to everyone's benefit. As former CEO of Mitsubishi Electric, Tachi Kiuchi has put it: "There is no problem ever faced by a business that has not been faced and solved in a rainforest."
