“A
Call for an Equitable and Sustainable Economy” was issued on March 31, 2009 to the
White House Offices: The Office of Public Liaison/Department of Energy,
Environment and Natural Resources; The Office of Social Innovation and Civic
Engagement; and The Council on Environmental Quality and signed by The American
Sustainable Business Council and 1300 business executives, social
entrepreneurs, and others committed to building an equitable and sustainable
economy. This first ASB Council action in Washington
was met with a positive response and provided momentum for sustained collective
and cooperative action on behalf of the principles the coalition supports.
