Seventh Generation

In partnership with Seventh Generation, a pioneer and leader in sustainability, Kaplan EduNeering has launched a new online sustainability learning program, the Kaplan EduNeering/Seventh Generation Sustainability Institute.  The Institute will provide unique training programs and best practices for businesses and governmental organizations in developing and implementing sustainability initiatives.  The programs are designed for managers, employees, subcontractors and supply chain partners and provide practical guidance and training for the development of business practices that are responsive to the principles of sustainability and to the financial expectations of stakeholders.

According to Jeffrey Hollender, Seventh Generation’s co-founder and Inspired Protagonist, “The voices of the business establishment have come to recognize that the key drivers that make responsible corporate behavior an imperative are not only persistent, they are predominant, and they will endure for many years to come.  Even skeptics now concede, as mounting evidence reveals, that sustainable companies often enjoy a distinct competitive advantage over their profit-riveted peers and continue to deliver outsized financial results.”  Jeffrey is an advisor to Fortune 500 companies and the author of several best-selling books including: How to Make the World a Better Place: A Guide for Doing Good, What Matters Most - How a small group of pioneers are teaching social responsibility to big business - and why big business is listening and The Responsibility Revolution, to be published in March 2010.

Seventh Generation is a leader in corporate responsibility and sustainable business practices and is committed to being the most trusted brand of household and personal-care products for your living home. It derives its name from the Iroquois belief that "In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations."
