The Network for Business Innovation and Sustainability is an organization that provides resources for companies that are trying to create a more sustainable world.

Jerry Kay spoke to Karl Ostrom, Executive Director of the Network for Business Innovation and Sustainability:

Network for Business Innovation and Sustainability

Ostrom says that business is one of the key drivers in our society. Businesses are held more accountable than they were in the past, when the expectation was often only that they would donate some profit to charity.

Today, businesses are held accountable for the way they do business. Are they friendly to the environment, to the community, and to the people who make the products? Are the products recyclable? The network is there to help businesses to collaborate with each other in improving their practices.
