Well, sure! As long as you hide that economic growth - not always but often - at the expense of the environment and people. If BP makes record sales, then it can be flat, not that it all goes well, because an oil spill polluted the sea and beach and many people cut off their livelihood. A company can reduce its uranium, produces beautiful balance sheets, because in the balance sheets does not appear that the natives be contaminated in such an area. A coffee company that is flourishing us rather than one that has to declare bankruptcy, no question. But when a team ARD-researched and shows pictures where you see little children who press with heavy bags, which they almost to the ground, work hard and never visit a school, makes this clear: If the social and environmental components element of fun, it's not just all good. Then it can indeed help companies still are so great - the damage we are all sooner or later have to bear. And this is usually an expensive business.
As long as you hide but the actual cost, one can these stupid slogans over and over again among the people, for decades already, and people's eating more and do more for growth, more, more.
