Applied Sustainability Center is translating Arkansas' legacy of conservation and the ingenious use and reuse of resources into best management practices for businesses that will increase their long-term profitability and at the same time benefit society through more judicious use of land, water, air, fossil fuels and other natural resources. The Applied Sustainability Center works with disparate partners to facilitate the rapid development of sustainable business practices and promote their application across the retail and consumer goods industries. Working together through the Center, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, universities, and other interested parties can help to achieve environmental stability for future generations.

Creating a sustainable global consumer goods economy.

We lead organizations in the retail and consumer goods industries toward sustainable practices that support an economy built around people, planet and profit. We accomplish this by solving complex problems, providing expert guidance, brokering problems and solutions, and by sponsoring research.
