 <title>P&amp;G&#039;s Sustainability Initiatives -- Not So Sustainable</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/127/green-business-pgs-chemistry-test.html</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;On a prematurely&lt;/strong&gt; springlike day in Cincinnati, Len Sauers&#039;s workday begins as it often does -- with a meeting. On the 11th floor of Procter &amp; Gamble&#039;s corporate offices, seven members of its Sustainability Leadership Council huddle around a table in a small conference room. Ten others listen in by phone from P&amp;G offices around the world. The topic at hand is the company&#039;s commitment to develop $20 billion worth of &quot;sustainable innovation products&quot; in the next five years, 
a significant addition to P&amp;G&#039;s current $76 billion in annual sales.
