Serving people, planet and profit: An 'integrated bottom-line' approach to looking at business for entrepreneurs, activists, and decision makers
Welcome to Triple Pundit. Economy, environment, and society are interdependent. For too long business has thought of itself as separate. We aim to change that. If you would like to contribute by becoming a columnist or simply have some ideas to share,
3P is excited to be attending the 2008 Sustainable Brands conference in Monterey, CA this June. If you are responsible for your company's brand or sustainability strategy, there is no more important conference to attend this year. Please register for the conference here, and we'll see you there.

The European car industry is going to be heavily impacted by regulations on pollution limitations and tensions are rising between German manufacturers on one side and the French and Italian car industry on the other. Reason? German cars are much heavier than those made by the French and the Italians and the Germans fear that they will be penalized by new pollution regulations.
New cars by 2012 can only emit 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer at max. Most European cars average 160 grams per kilometer at the moment. The new rules are expected to transform the look and feel of all European cars. Even the smallest and most energy efficient cars are required to undergo design changes so the sector as a whole can reach the new goals.
