Now that you know your product is bad for the environment, what will you do?
If your products were bad for the environment, what would you do?
If your best products were the worst for the environment, what would you do?
If you knew your products hurt the people that use them, what would you do?
If you knew your sales would be reduced if you told your customers that your products were bad for their health, what would you do?
If you knew a competitive technology was fundamentally less harmful to the environment, what would you do?
If you knew that competitive technology did not hurt the people that use it, what would you do?
If you knew that competitive technology was taking market share from you, what would you do?
If you knew that competitive technology was improving faster than yours, what would you do?
If you knew how to redesign your product to make it better for the environment, but that redesign would reduce the product’s performance in other areas, what would you do?
If that same redesign effort generated patented technology, what would you do?
So, what will you do?
