to Seventh Generation and has worked for almost 30 years with
businesses worldwide on building regenerative practices. Carol's work
not only avoids the tradeoffs between business and sustainability that
are often thought necessary, but also create quantum jumps in human
and business growth and profitability. In Carol's approach, growth and
profitability come through, not in spite of, ensuring healthy work
places and engaged employees; improving the environment by actively
participating with nature in growing living systems; and building
place-based identity in communities. Carol's clients, in addition to
Seventh Generation, include DuPont, Colgate Palmolive Europe and
Africa, Sharp Electronics, Agilent, and many others.
