Confessions of a Radical Industrialist

Audiobook

His story is now legend. In 1994, after reading The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken, Ray Anderson felt a "spear in the chest." The founder of Interface, Inc., a billion-dollar carpeting manufacturer, realized that his company was plundering the environment and he needed to steer it on a new course. Since then, Interface has cut its greenhouse gas emissions by eighty-two percent, with a goal to reach a zero environmental footprint by 2020. Thoughtful and winning, Confessions of a Radical Industrialist shows how Anderson revolutionized his company—improving quality, bringing costs down, and driving up profits—making it one of Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For. He challenges all industries to share his ambitious goal: to take nothing from the earth that can't be replaced by the earth.
