“The Sustainable Enterprise”

Sustainable businesses need consistent growth, Thomas Falk, chairman and chief executive officer of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, told the April 3 meeting of the Boston College Chief Executives’ Club of Boston. Taking care of customers, finding ways to grow both locally and globally, and developing talent are essential for a company to flourish. “The mark of a sustainable enterprise,” Falk said, “is being flexible and agile, taking a look at your portfolio, continuing to make sure you’re in the right businesses.” Fay Donohue, president and chief executive officer of Delta Dental of Massachusetts, introduced Falk.
