Our CE'Yo joins a business debate
A recent book, What Matters Most, takes a look at "socially responsible" businesses such as Seventh Generation, a manufacturer of environmentally friendly household products based in Burlington, Vermont. In the November issue of Inc. Magazine, Stonyfield's CE'Yo Gary Hirshberg jumps into an on-going debate about making money and the role businesses can and should play in doing good in the world.
Hirshberg takes up a thread of an ongoing discussion about whether or not one can be a big company and still be socially responsible.
"If you sincerely want the world to be a better place, and you believe business is a way to get there, then it's pure academic nonsense to set some arbitrary size limit above which you cannot be a responsible company," says Gary Hirshberg, who founded the organic yogurt maker Stonyfield Farm in Londonderry, N.H., in 1983.
