1 Stuart Jones Vice President of Research and Development Interface Americas Natural Capitalism Sustainability Definition and Measures

2 Which is the Environment and which is the Economy?

3 $ Endangered Species Loss of Coral Reefs Loss of the Rain Forest Dying Bird Population Glacier Recession Loss of Estuary Habitat

4 $ Which is the Environment and which is the Economy? Hurricanes Global Warming Drought Forest Fires Oil/Energy Wars Soil Wars Water Wars Food Wars

5 Business Principles Know where the market is going... Buy Low and Sell High How?

6 Is Sustainability... A Trend or is it... A Leading Indicator

7 “Well ahead of slow moving government, companies of every size and in every part of the World are now waking up to Humanity’s impending, interlocking crisis, and the vastly Lucrative Rewards that solving them might bring.” Fast Company March 2007

8 1712 Thomas Newcomen Steam Driven Pump 1st Industrial Revolution 1733 John Kay Flying Shuttle Loom Eat, Drink, Be Happy and Multiply!

9 We had the whole world in our hands...

10 and dropped it into a sea of oil.

11 AWAY Take Make Waste

12 If the course is wrong, The solution is CHANGE

13 How Do We Change? Crisis Incrementally Legislation War

14 How Does Nature Change? Generally Nature is Opportunistic in its Change Strategy Adapt or Die

15 Researcher vs. Businessperson Designer vs. Operations Manager Evangelist vs. Scientist Engineer vs. Biologist Adaptation Happens Best at Boundaries Out of the Box - Ideation Language of Biology

16 We ask Nature How She Would Solve Our Problems and Take a Vow to Listen to Her Answers for Three Months

17 Life Cycles in Nature

18 Take Make WasteConversion Recycle Algae + CO2 = Bio-diesel Energy Cycle Renewable Cycle

19 When on a Maiden Journey a plan is good but... a Compass is better!

32 Interface, Inc. (Consolidated) Gross Sales and Profitability from Continuing Operations ($ in millions) Recession: 36% industry decline 16% Interface decline

33 Interface Inc. Corporate Vision To be the first company that, by its deeds, shows the entire industrial world what Sustainability is in all of its dimensions: people, process, product, place and profits - by 2020 - and in doing so we will become restorative through the power of influence.
