Bil Shireman

Called a "master of environmental entrepreneurism," Bill Shireman, CEO of The Future 500, brings together corporations and their activist stakeholders to advance sustainable global well-being and prosperity.

Shireman builds alliances between companies like Coca-Cola, General Motors, Weyerhaeuser, and Mitsubishi, and activists like the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund, and Global Exchange. He forged a coalition with brewer Bill Coors to design and pass California 's "bottle bill" recycling law, responsible for recycling 100 billion cans and bottles. He structured a deal between Mitsubishi and Rainforest Action Network, now adopted by 400 companies, that saved millions of acres and led to what environmentalists call "the biggest step forward in North American forest protection in 17 years." He and his team developed a global corporate citizenship program deployed globally by The Coca-Cola Company and now being deployed throughout their 300-company network.  He developed a "360" process for measuring corporate sustainability now used by leading electronics, energy, auto, management consulting, and financial services companies.
