Suhas Apte & Jagdish N. Sheth, Authors, THE SUSTAINABILITY EDGE: How To Drive Top-Line Growth With Triple-Bottom-Line Thinking

Ensuring long-term sustainability, whether it’s a start-up or an ongoing business, should be a top priority for every entrepreneur and CEO.  With the growth stagnation seen in mature markets, resource availability in decline, the pace of innovation accelerating while the life-span of innovation shortens, the demographics scenario of mature to developing/emerging markets changing with the rise of millennial and Gen X consumers - a new paradigm is emerging.

It all started with an idea from a group of students at MIT in  Boston back in 2012. When they got the challenge of developing ”the sustainable office article of the future”, they came up with the idea of a plantable pencil with a capsule of seeds in the end. When the pencil is planted, the capsule dissolves and sprout into herbs, vegetables or flowers.

As a co-founder of a crowdfunding platform that is aimed at connecting accredited investors with sustainable real estate investment opportunities in the Twin Cities, I have a unique perspective on what it takes to be an entrepreneur in the rust belt. Many rust belt communities are recovering from the economic downturn in incredible ways. More importantly, these refreshed local economies are not the same as what we had in the 90’s or even the 2000’s. Now, there is increased focus on sustainability and on returns that aren’t measured on a ledger sheet.
