Steve Jobs of Apple was ranked #1 based upon Apple achieving an astounding 3000% increase in stockholder value during his leadership.

This sparked the question, who are our Sustainable CEOs? The following were nominations submitted by Triple Pundit readers during the week of January 7-15, 2010 listed in order of their nominations. This list is impressive in its length and diversity of nominations. I posted with every name a link to their company’s webpage. Studying these leaders’ management practices and the “green” action items their companies are pursuing to grow profitability and revenues is an eye-opening window into the emerging sustainable global economy and why I now project $10 trillion of annual global sustainable revenues by 2017.
