Green Business News, Resources, and Sustainability Career Tools | Business | GreenBiz.com

 

Our mission is to provide clear, concise, accurate, and balanced information, resources, and learning opportunities to help companies of all sizes and sectors integrate environmental responsibility into their operations in a manner that supports profitable business practices.

Our goals are to:
  • Be the leading source of news and opinion on business and the environment.
  • Serve as an information clearinghouse on green business practices, offering resources from companies, nongovernmental organizations, trade associations, government agencies, academic institutions, and thought leaders.
  • Help readers turn information into knowledge and action by providing hands-on tools, expert advice, and case studies.
  • Provide access to environmental sources and products.
  • Facilitate increased communication, information sharing, and learning among green professionals and other interested parties.
  • Promote increased understanding of green business practices to government entities, nongovernmental organizations, news media, investors, students and academics, and the public at large.
  • Provide deep, vertical coverage of green business by sector and job function, ranging from product design to facility management, information technology to branding and marketing.
What We Believe
  • A revolution is taking place that is leading companies of all sizes and sectors to comprehensively address environmental issues as part of their strategy and operations -- rethinking their policies, processes, and products, and their relationships with a variety of stakeholders and trading partners.
  • Environmental concerns have resulted in a confluence of technologies, innovations, and creative thinking being unleashed that is enabling companies to transform such challenges into new business opportunities and competitive advantage.
  • Companies address their environmental impacts in a variety of ways and for a variety of reasons -- some voluntarily and others less so -- but all should be welcome and encouraged, regardless of their motivations or levels of commitment.
  • Companies that go beyond society's regulations and expectations in addressing their environmental challenges often find that they can create new forms of business value, including both tangible and intangible measures of success.
  • Those working inside companies -- from owners and bosses to managers and line employees -- overwhelmingly want their companies to be good corporate citizens, though most individuals lack the time, expertise, or resources to make significant changes.
  • No company, even the most committed, will ever be perfect, from an environmental perspective, though they should be encouraged to continually improve their performance, and to make bold commitments and actions.
  • Companies can be a powerful force for good, helping to solve the planet's and society's most pressing problems -- and do so in a way that aligns with their business goals and objectives.
  • The time for companies to act is short, and the challenges are great -- but so are the opportunities.

Advertising Collections - Duke Libraries

 

Advertising Collections - Duke Libraries

This is a portal to search and explore all of the digitized advertisements from Duke University Libraries' digital collections. The Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History in Duke's Special Collection Library acquires and preserves printed material and collections of textual and multimedia resources and makes them available to researchers around the world. Through these collections and related programming, the Center promotes understanding of the social, cultural, and historical impact of advertising, marketing, and sales.

 

Had hoped to feed my Mad Men obsession, but most of the works in the Ad Access collection end in the 1950’s….

The Ad*Access Project, funded by the Duke Endowment "Library 2000" Fund, presents images and database information for over 7,000 advertisements printed in U.S. and Canadian newspapers and magazines between 1911 and 1955. Ad*Access concentrates on five main subject areas: Radio, Television, Transportation, Beauty and Hygiene, and World War II, providing a coherent view of a number of major campaigns and companies through images preserved in one particular advertising collection available at Duke University. The advertisements are from the J. Walter Thompson Company Competitive Advertisements Collection of the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History in Duke University's Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library.

Bloomberg - Business & Financial News, Breaking News Headlines

 

Bloomberg - Business & Financial News, Breaking News Headlines

In 1981 Bloomberg started out with one core belief: that bringing transparency to capital markets through access to information could increase capital flows, produce economic growth and jobs, and significantly reduce the cost of doing business. Today’s Bloomberg builds on that foundation - everything we do connects decision makers in business, finance and government to a broad and dynamic network of information, news, people and ideas that enables faster, more effective decisions. Come see how we do it.
