We cannot choose between [economic] growth and sustainability – we must have both.”
– Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever

“A strong economy is the foundation upon which sustainability programs are built. Since the lows of the recession, Las Vegas’ population has grown, as has its economy. The Las Vegas economy has experienced growth in employment and income, all while becoming more diverse. Las Vegas residents have recognized this improvement with increased spending, particularly on discretionary items.”
