Ray Anderson’s story is truly inspirational. In 1994, after reading The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken, Ray felt a ‘spear in the chest’: he realized that his company, billion-dollar carpeting manufacturer Interface, Inc, was plundering the environment with its unsustainable business practices, and he needed to steer it on a new course.
Thoughtful and winning, Confessions of a Radical Industrialist shows just how Anderson revolutionized his company. By setting unprecedented targets for cutting waste, instigating revolutionary recycling initiatives and encouraging employees at every level of the company to contribute ideas on how to save resources, he has succeded in cutting Interface's greenhouse gas emissions by 82%, and the goal is to reach zero emissions by 2020. Not only that, he has also brought down costs, improved quality, made Interface one of Fortune’s ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’, and increased profits.
