Burgess COMMENTARY

RE: Educational Excellence Program for Governmental Sustainability Management Peter BurgessFounder/CEO at TrueValueMetrics To: André Schneider Date: June 29, 2013 Dear André Thanking you for sending me the information about the programs being organized by GISM. I am not at all surprised to find you engaged with training of this character. It is very much needed. Earlier today, someone contacted me about the importance of having the bulk of the leaders of major organizations rethink their priorities and the way corporate organizations make their investments so that there are positive outcomes for people, place, planet and profit, rather than merely the organization and its profit and its stock price, ignoring everything else. I am optimistic. I believe we are getting to a tipping point with a huge proportion of young people ready for a rather different form of consumer economy. I hope I am right. In the meantime, I am pushing ahead with my work to develop a workable system of value accounting that complements money profit accounting.
