Welcome to GreenBiz 2.0!

We've been working long hours behind the scenes to make GreenBiz.com and our sister sites even more useful and information-packed. At last, we're ready to unveil it.

We have redesigned the look and feel of GreenBiz.com and all our sister sites to make it easier for you to navigate and explore. All the same great news and resources are still here, and here is a short overview of all the new additions and changes to the sites.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about the new design, send a note to Carlie Peterson at carlie@greenerworldmedia.com.

Thanks for reading!

  • We've been working long hours behind the scenes to make GreenBiz.com and our sister sites even more useful and information-packed. At last, here it is, and here's what new and improved about the sites.
  • Social issues are gaining ground among the governance set. More than one-quarter of the 179 social policy proposals voted on by shareholders this year received at least 20 percent support, according to data compiled through August 2006 by Proxy Governance Inc. This compares with just 12 percent of the proposals that received 20 percent support in 2005.
  • Toyota Motor Corp. plans to sell ethanol-powered vehicles in the United States by 2008, following the lead of domestics General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed company executive.

  • United Nations officials called for China to adopt a sustainable industrialization mode in Beijing Thursday, and Chinese officials agreed sustainable development was necessary for China "to build a well-off society".

  • Royal Dutch/Shell Group, the world's fourth-largest maker of solar panels, plans to spend as much as $1 billion on acquisitions and research over the next five years to expand its solar business, a company official said.
  • Innovest Strategic Value Advisors has found that sustainability leaders, or the companies with more sustainable environmental practices, outperform sustainability laggards.
