I am finishing up my MBA at Fordham University in NYC and will be getting a designation in Global Sustainability. My exposure has led me to the belief that firms who manage towards sustainability will be the leaders or indeed survivors of the business world. Today's "sustainability" movement seems to be very close to the "quality" movement of the past -where those who embraced the quality movement were rewarded (think Toyota). My search for a job that contributes in some tangible way to the sustainability equation has been elusive, but your post gives me hope. Especially inspiring were the studies that found that "an important prerequisite for employees in the new economy is general education in sustainability concepts and climate in particular."
