Ray Anderson, who passed away last week, was a pioneer of sustainable business.  For me, he was also a personal hero.  When I started GreenOrder in 2000, few enterprises had adopted a truly strategic and integrated approach to environmental responsibility and innovation.  Fewer still had a CEO who was such a passionate and effective advocate for both the moral and business case for sustainability. Interface, the carpet company Ray founded, had both.
