Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. was honored yesterday when our Chief Executive Officer, Larry Blanford, was selected by CRO Magazine (formerly Business Ethics magazine) as “Responsible CEO of the Year” in the mid-cap category. I don’t know which is more exciting, that we’re a mid-cap company, or that we’ve been recognized for extraordinary accomplishments in corporate sustainability, governance, compliance, CSR, and philanthropy. Actually, I’m pretty sure one thing has a little something to do with the other.
Larry Blanford, CEO of GMCR, Inc.
As Larry said, “Our Company’s purpose is to change the way the world views business, and demonstrate that profitability goes hand-in-hand with social and environmental responsibility. It’s a great tribute to see our efforts recognized by an organization that celebrates these ideals.”
