Abstract
In this presentation, the argument is made for business leaders to create sustainable policies that change how businesses often put limited resources at risk. This research presentation looks at how the company Nichols is working to "green" the cleaning products industry and is driving change in sustainable solutions. In the fall of 2011, GVSU students Sherri Slater, Greg Zuidema and Lisa Hackney formed Team Nichols, which participated in a campus corporate social responsibility seminar as part of a liberal studies course taught by Michael Dewilde. Team Nichols researched how Nichols can adopt triple bottom line strategies and reported findings in a buisness policy that proposed hypothetical sustainable possibilities. In preparation for research, text books and journals were studied and interviews were conducted. This is a project that examines where the corporate sustainability track is heading, which is a crucial issue facing companies today.
