William McDonough was named by Fortune Magazine as one of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders List at #24. Fortune included McDonough amongst 49 others in business, government, philanthropy and the arts who are “transforming the world and inspiring others to do the same.”
‘Green’ architecture arguably went mainstream thanks to McDonough, whose firms designed eco-friendly campuses for such giants as Nike and Ford. Today he’s a leading proponent of a ‘circular economy’ in which sustainability drives all product design; he’s steering an effort to redesign plastics using materials that won’t pile up in our oceans and bloodstreams.
