New this week: State of Green Biz 2016 GreenBiz and TruCost just released the 2016 State of Green Biz Report, and it's no surprise that "blue" has become a much larger part of green. In a webinar conducted this week, the authors noted that efficiencies were achieved by the companies who reported blue investments (25% of U.S. companies and 15% of global companies). The report identifies 10 key trends and includes a variety of statistics and graphs that may be useful to members of the Water Network. For 2016, key trends identified were: the circular economy, green infrastructure, carbon recycling, microgrids and the growth of the blue economy. SOURCE: The State of Green Biz Report is now in its 9th year, and covers U.S. companies in the S&P 500 index as well as those in the MSCI World Developed Index, which includes more than 1,600 companies in 24 developed markets.
