BofA was also one of the sponsors of the Environmental Business Council's presentation on The Natural Step, which takes on the whole issue of sustainability. Our sponsorship surprised some people. But that's okay. The discussion is very important. We have a feeling that when businesses operate more sustainably, they will have a greater economic longevity.
Many companies seem focused on short-term performance.
That said, I believe the economy can only do well in the long term if, in fact, we preserve the natural systems that help to drive the economy. Whether it be water, land, or air, or a combination of all of them, these natural systems impact the most basic quality of life issues. All companies need to be concerned about that.
