John Elkington: Beyond Bubbles - Riding the CJan 24, 2012 | 12:00 pm
Is sustainability investment missed by our focussing on market
bubbles in current economical and financial discussions?
Sustainability calls for timescales far beyond the scope of market
bubbles, working in tens or even hundreds of years, in contrast to the
increasingly fast pace of market volatility. Does this mean that it is immune
to market bubbles, or is it doomed to be hindered by many collapses of the market
before any investments are able to come to fruition? Are there fundamental
market factors that can drive sustainability investment (and return) regardless
to the bubbles?
