Mission >>
As our name suggests, NextEarth’s mission is to help accelerate the next phase in our global evolution towards a sustainable future. At the core of our business is a desire to build a better world for present and future generations, while protecting the integrity of the ecosystems on which we all depend. Our goals are to help mitigate the risks created by an increasingly resource-constrained world, and to advance the business opportunities intrinsic in sustainability.
Sustainability as Business Opportunity >>
At NextEarth Group, we view sustainability as the most significant business issue and business opportunity of our age. The earth is becoming smaller and we are increasingly recognizing that everything within it is connected. Water, air, energy — these are the fundamentals of human life on this planet. Yet populations around the world are swelling. As more and more nations make the leap to advanced industrialization, the demand for natural resources increases, as does the impact to the environment. Adapting to these new circumstances means businesses have to figure out how to do more with less, while meeting the needs of a growing population and employing practices that operate in harmony with the environment. This puts business innovation at the center of meeting our global sustainability challenge. Ultimately, these changes will open the door to a new economy: to new and robust sources of business value, revenue and jobs.
Envisioning a Prosperous Future >>
We believe that a revolutionary opportunity exists today — emerging at the interface of globalization and growing environmental awareness — to redesign the way business is done to generate prosperity for companies, people and the planet. Today’s environmental challenges are unequalled in terms of their global nature, making them the responsibility of everyone. Yet as large as these challenges are, this moment comes at a special time in human history. In no other period have private individuals and businesses had so much power to change the world. By unleashing the force of humanity’s ingenuity and enterprising spirit, we believe society can chart a new course for itself and the planet — one that will ensure and enhance our shared prosperity for generations to come. In the end, we believe this will be the greatest legacy of our era.
