Sustainable development professionals unite!

In Europe, they take sustainable development very seriously. Lafarge has even created a permanent corporate position. Olivier Luneau was recently named Senior Vice President, Group Sustainable Development and Public Affairs for the company. He reports directly to the CEO. It is only a matter of time before U.S. corporations begin to create permanent positions for sustainable development professionals. With companies such as Caterpillar and organizations such as the Industrial Minerals Association of North America leading the way, sustainability is getting high-profile respectibility in the extraction industries.
