A Friend and Advisor Awarded
Christopher Gavigan
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Its a remarkably satisfying feeling to see a friend formally acknowledged for their tireless work and impressive achievements – especially when their achievements include pioneering a new way of thinking that will “create a better and brighter world for all”.
We’d like to send our many congratulations to Seventh Generation’s CEO, Jeffrey Hollender, who has sat on the Healthy Child Board of Advisors since 2006. Jeffrey was just recently named the 2008 Social Entrepreneur CEO of the Year by Corporate Responsibility Officer (CRO) Magazine. This award recognizes corporate leaders whose “outstanding organizational leadership in the areas of corporate responsibility; governance, risk and compliance; sustainability; and philanthropy has led to significant company growth."
We have witnessed firsthand Jeffrey's philanthropic generosity and bravery, as we have collaborated (and continue to work together) on significant strategic efforts to inspire the public to take positive action to benefit global and human health. You may have seen the What’s Inside Campaign that launched recently, another example of Seventh Generation leading the way in the non-toxic cleaning space. The campaign offers full disclosure and transparency of all ingredients used on all products so you can make a well-informed decision. Wait, there it is, that special feeling again.
3 cheers to you Jeffrey, and all the folks at Seventh Generation! Indeed, the world is a better, safer, and healthier place.
