by Jeffrey Hollender and Stephen Fenichell

Buy Book

Jeffrey Hollender, CEO of Seventh Generation, has written a loving history and appraisal of the modern corporate citizenship movement. What Matters Most, this month's Fast Company Readers' Choice, dwells on a generation of enlightened entrepreneurs and suggests that this network has established models of corporate responsibility that bigger corporations are increasingly embracing. The argument is optimistic, but also intelligent and convincing.
