 <title>Sustainability Initiatives--Big vs. Small Companies</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/shel-horowitz/sustainability-initiatives-big-vs-small-companies</link>
 <description>Tonight I attended a panel on sustainability. The main speaker owns &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peakbrewing.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Peak Organic Brewery&lt;/a&gt;, in Portland, Maine. A marketing consultant and a local-economies activist filled out the panel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Q&amp;amp;A, I asked the marketing consultant--who works with everyone from startups to Quaker Oats--how it felt to walk the tense dance between helping microentrepreneurs change the culture, and moving big companies toward social/environmental responsibility even if at the expense of those startups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;ul class=&quot;links&quot;&gt;&lt;li  class=&quot;first last og_links&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/group/social-responsibility&quot; class=&quot;og_links&quot;&gt;Social Responsibility&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
