In this video, Future 500 President and CEO, Bill Shireman discusses working with global corporations and activist groups to solve problems related to climate, resources, water, and labor issues. He also explains how the end of oil, the rise of information, and globalization are driving society into a new economy. Last but not least, he describes the triple bottom line of sustainability - environment, economy, and labor.

Shireman is called "a master of environmental entrepreneurism." He has resolved conflicts between some of the world's largest corporations and environmental activist groups. Shireman forged partnerships between Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Electric and the Rainforest Action Network to save forests, devised a forestry restructuring plan that brought Canada's biggest forestry company, MacMillan Bloedel, together with Greenpeace and the Sierra Club, and forged the coalition that led to the California beverage container recycling law, the nation's most cost-effective "bottle bill."
