    “The new capitalism … has to be environmental”, NKM"The new capitalism which emerges from the crisis has to be environmental, or it won't be new," Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet (NKM), the current Minister for Ecology, Sustainable Development, Transport and Housing of France, appointed in November 2010.

    It should be part of a rethink of the world's economy, in which green issues and social questions should be integrated into the search for profit, she said.

    "When a company makes a voluntary disclosure of this kind, it signals to the investment community that this is a firm that is environmentally responsible,"

    "Investors are saying they would prefer to invest in an environmentally responsible firm."
