13 Must-Follow Twitter Accounts From A Sustainability Executive


Levi Strauss & Co.
June 22, 2015

Twitter may be best known for breaking the latest news, celebrities throwing shade and viral hashtags, but it’s also a gathering place for thought leaders and forward thinkers on a variety of topics. One of the very vibrant micro-communities that has sprung up is around sustainable business.

As vice president of sustainability at Levi Strauss & Co., Michael Kobori (@KoboriGrillsCSR) is happy to be a part of it. Not only is he able to keep tabs on sustainability news and trends, but he also has the opportunity to connect with other top voices and innovators in the space.

So who does the sustainability leader (and a most creative person in business) follow? Michael was kind enough to hand select, in no particular order, a few of his Twitter sustainability must-follows.

1. Marc Gunther, @MarcGunther

Leading sustainability columnist for Guardian Sustainable Business.
