business was done any other way. The notion that a
company can only care about profit will be seen as old-

40. Interdependence; from awareness to action
Marilou van Golstein Brouwers, Triodos Investment Management
21 June 2017

41. “Interdependence is a fundamental
law of nature. Even tiny insects
survive by cooperating with each
other. Our own survival is so
dependent on the help of others that
a need for love lies at the very core
of our existence. This is why we
need to cultivate a genuine sense of
responsibility and a sincere concern
for the welfare of others.”
– His Holiness the Dalai lama
to cultivate a genuine sense of res

42. All living and non-living things in an
ecosystem are interconnected and
changing even one thing changes
the whole ecosystem.
“When one tugs at a single thing in
nature, he finds it attached to the
rest world.”
– John Muir, Naturalist, Sierra Club
Founder
to cultivate a genuine sense of res

43. “Interdependence is and ought to
be as much the ideal of man as
self-sufficiency.
Man is a social being.
– Mahatma Gandhi
to cultivate a genuine sense of
res

44. “Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful, committed
citizens can change the world;
indeed, it’s the only thing that
ever has.”
– Margaret Mead
to cultivate a genuine sense of
res

46. “Much of our food system depends on not
knowing much about it, beyond the price
disclosed by the checkout scanner;
cheapness and ignorance are mutually
reinforcing. And it is a short way from not
knowing to not caring - to the carelessness of
both producers and consumers that
characterizes our economy today”
- Michael Pollan
The Omnivore’s Dilemma

Ubuntu
I… am what I am because of who we all are.
“It is the essence of being human – you can’t
exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks
about our interconnectedness. You can’t be
human all by yourself, and when you have
this quality – Ubuntu – you are known for
your generosity. We think of ourselves far
too frequently as just individuals, separated
from one another, whereas you are
connected and what you do affects the
whole World. When you do well, it spreads
out; it is for the whole of humanity.”
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu
