Foreword
Maurice Strong
It is a very special honor to have been invited to provide the foreword to Eco-efficiency: The Business Link to Sustainable Development by Livio DeSimone and Frank Popoff, two executives recognized for their leading-edge thinking on issues of sustainability.
Back in 1992, I had the unique experience of being present at the creation of the concept of eco-efficiency during the Earth Summit. In just five years, eco-efficiency has moved from a vision to implementation. Discussed in board rooms, debated by policy makers, and promoted by NGOs, it is an idea whose time has not only comebut one whose contribution will help society move along the path to sustainable development.
