Stuart Hart is one of the world's foremost speakers on corporate sustainability. More than just "being green for the sake of green," Hart focuses on creating sustainable value—growing profits, increasing competitive advantage, and generating growth—through the pursuit of sustainability. He envisions a future where companies, and even nations, can flourish indefinitely.

Stuart Hart believes that business can, and should, be the engine for change. This means reversing the widening gap between rich and poor, and halting the rampant loss of natural capital and biodiversity worldwide. The winning companies of the present and future will be sustainable enterprises, companies that grow and profit by moving us more rapidly in a sustainable direction. Attaining global sustainability through this new breed of enterprise calls for transformational change in corporate vision and strategy. A new set of guiding principles are needed—and Stuart Hart is at the forefront of developing them. Stuart Hart is the Samuel C. Johnson Chair in Sustainable Global Enterprise and Professor of Management at Cornell University's Johnson School of Management. He is also Founder and President of Enterprise for a Sustainable World. Hart has published over 70 papers and has authored or edited seven books. His article "Beyond Greening: Strategies for a Sustainable World" won the McKinsey Award for Best Article in the Harvard Business Review for 1997 and helped launch the movement for corporate sustainability. With C.K. Prahalad, Hart also wrote the path-breaking 2002 article "The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid," which provided the first articulation of how business could profitably serve the needs of the four billion poor in the developing world. His best-selling 2005 book, Capitalism at the Crossroads, was named as one of the top 50 books on sustainability of all-time.
