Enterprise for a Sustainable World
E4SW: a not-for-profit organization started up by BoP business guru (and Cornell professor) Stuart Hart.
E4SW provides consulting services in the BoP, largely in implementation of the Base of the Pyramid Protocol. E4SW calls upon some of the best known names in field of the BoP to offer its services, including Patrick Donohue, Duncan Duke, Erik Simanis, and Tatiana Thieme.
"At Enterprise for a Sustainable World, we take the view that business--more than either government or civil society--is uniquely equipped at this point in history to lead us toward a sustainable world in the years ahead. Indeed, companies are the only entities in the world today with the technology, resources, capacity, and global reach required. Properly focused, the profit motive can accelerate (not inhibit) the transformation toward global sustainability, with nonprofits, governments, and multilateral agencies all playing crucial roles as collaborators." - e4sw.org
