Two from Fortune Magazine

A couple of recent issues of Fortune Magazine contained articles on sustainable business issues - that's not to mention their cover story back in July on the greening of Wal-Mart.

On October 16th, an article which actually appeared in Business 2.0 magazine first, is an article about Adobe Systems, the makers of Photoshop and the .pdf file, among others. Adobe has made a committment to environmentalism - they were the first company to receive a platinum award from the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council under its current Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. Also, the article mentions that Adobe has invested $1.1 million in a number of energy-efficient project. This investment has given them close to $1 million in annual savings.

On October 25th, Fortune printed an article about how investment banks are paying more attention to energy-saving initiatives. The article speaks of Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs and what they are doing in their own facilities.
