Find smarter opportunities hiding “in plain sight’ as the world of business increasingly uses sustainability to drive innovation.
So you have a business – but do you think of it as a SUSTAINABILITY business?
Every business today IS a sustainability business – because you can’t do business without using environmental resources.
The 20th century notion that “this environment thing” is up to big government and big business is about as dated as the fax machine.
So too is the notion that sustainability is just about cost, compliance and efficiency.
It may well be what earnest sustainability campaigners and alarming media stories have been telling you for decades, but it’s the boring expensive part.
Today, that dated fog of dis-information hides a wealth of innovation opportunity for nimble, entrepreneurial smaller businesses.
Most of what’s wrong with the environment is a result of the WAY our products and services are designed, built and delivered
And designing, building, delivering and improving the products, systems and services we use every day is mostly done by business.
So the solutions – and the opportunities – are all about business innovation. And the early adopters and entrepreneurs of recent decades have also found them excitingly profitable.
The design thinking on today’s commercial solutions happened back in the 1980s and 1990s. So with today’s smart technology we have all the tools and technology to deliver them at scale, with benefits all around.
“Sustainability for fun and profit”
However, if you’re not tuned in to the design principles driving the opportunity side of sustainability then you could well be missing out.
The clouds of “everybody knows” news stories on dire problems and expensive compliance mean you could well be hiding your piece of the action. An exciting new wave of innovation opportunity is building – along with increasing demand for solutions.

Leigh Baker
Hello, I’m Leigh Baker – business analyst, writer and regenerative business guide.
When I started my sustainability journey back in 2002, I was excited and inspired by the practical solutions I found. At the time I had been a supply chain consultant for decades and was working as a management coach.
I’m a book junkie, so I dived in to the exciting new ideas from big thinkers and leading entrepreneurs – Natural Capitalism, The Natural Step, Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation, Circular Economy and Biomimicry.
I was also looking for “the short version” for my busy executive clients – but I couldn’t find it. In 2009 I wrote my own – The Deep Green Profit Handbook.
While there are more solutions and many more business examples, the principles driving Deep Green Profit haven’t changed. So I now offer The Deep Green Profit INSIGHTS as an ongoing email series.
Along with the principles of strategic sustainability, your regular Inbox Insights come with up-to-date examples from the world of business. You’re not just getting theory – you’re keeping up with the increasing number of real businesses doing real innovation.
The Deep Green Profit INSIGHTS are just one aspect of what I do
