This article is designed to make readers question themselves as consumers or investors in terms of pointing fingers at the not-so-responsible companies and the fundamental steps required by the stakeholders (consumers, companies and investors) to take to address social and environmental problems associated with the traditional management practices (financial bottom-line imperative). Investors are likely to be attracted in purchasing equities that will deliver the most profit. Companies will always focus on delivering financial performance to the shareholders. Consumers wil always look for the best deal. The less socially responsible companies would self-correct if both the consumers and investors turned their backs. The challenge lies in finding investors willing to support socially responsible companies at their typically higher price tags. Are consumers ready to pay a premium as well? What is your thought?]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.triplepundit.com/2011/12/going-bearish-green-investing/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>6 Laws of Green Marketing</title><link>http://www.triplepundit.com/2011/12/laws-green-marketing/</link> <comments>http://www.triplepundit.com/2011/12/laws-green-marketing/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:10:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Lesley Lammers</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cause Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corporate Social Responsibility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Green Marketing, Sustainable Branding, Environmentally Safe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Greenwashing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Colleen Kramer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[communications]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GreenNC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[north carolina]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Raleigh]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SpringLeaf Strategies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sustainability consulting]]></category><guid
