Fast Company’s progressive approach to business journalism means ongoing coverage of sustainability. By sharing the stories behind innovative companies that are at once eco-friendly AND profitable, the magazine inspires its readers to make positive changes both in business and in life. But we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk…

• With the production of our magazine:
  
• Fast Company is printed on 100% recycled paper
• 
  With the building we choose to work in and our office policies:
  
• Mansueto Ventures (Fast Company’s parent company) consciously choose to move to 7 World Trade Center – NYC’s first “green” office tower (a LEED gold certified building)
• At Mansueto Ventures recycling and other eco-friendly practices are serious business, a practice our in-house sustainability committee, the “enviro-mentalists” ensure.
• 
  With our partnerships:
  
• We have contributed content to Discovery Channel’s Planet Green – the 1st 24-hour network devoted to all things green
• We are valued partner of Greenopia – the 1st publisher of green city guides
• We are a media sponsor of both the Sustainable Brands Conference and the Good and Green Conference
• 
  And, as mentioned above, with inspiring editorial. A few recent examples follow:
