What Matters Most: How a Small Group of Pioneers Is Teaching Social Responsibility to Big Business, and Why Big Business Is Listening
by Jeffrey Hollender

New York: Basic Books, 2004

For seventeen years, Jeffrey Hollender has presided over Seventh Generation, a world leader in natural, non-toxic household and personal care products. What Matters Most illuminates the successful practices of Seventh Generation -- and many pioneering companies around the world -- to demonstrate the pragmatic aspects of a corporate strategy that hardwires social and environmental concerns into the company's culture, operating systems, and business relationships. Outlining seven specific elements of corporate responsibility, What Matters Most shows business leaders how to assess their own company's performance, adopt a socially responsible approach to doing business, and embark on a path of long-term growth.

Jeffrey Hollender is president and corporate responsibility officer of Seventh Generation. A frequent contributor on corporate responsibility, he is the author of How to Make the World a Better Place and resides in Burlington, Vermont.

Stephen Fenichell is a prolific business author. He lives in Upper Nyack, New York.
