The Fowler Center For Sustainable Value leverages interdisciplinary scholarship and practice to help leaders capitalize on new profitable business opportunities to solve the world’s growing social and environmental problems. We work directly with all institutions to embed sustainability into their core strategy, applying cutting-edge competencies in design, innovation, whole systems, and appreciative inquiry. The Fowler Center is led by Executive Director Roger Saillant, PhD.

Sustainable Value is defined as a dynamic state that occurs when a company creates ongoing value for its shareholders and stakeholders. By 'doing good' for society and the environment, the company does even better for its customers and shareholders than it otherwise would.

The shift from shareholder value to Sustainable Value is the natural outcome of a new external environment characterized by declining natural resources, radical transparency, and rising expectations. Sustainable Value is not just a better environmental strategy; it is a response to a radically different market reality in which the economic, ecological, and social spheres are unified into a single integrated value creation space.
