Step New England and the Responsible Business Association present:
"How Business Can Build a Sustainable Future" Thursday,
May 19th, 8am - 5pm
With Keynote
Speakers:Gary
Hirshberg, Founder of Stonyfield Farm Yogurt and Woody Tasch, Chairman
and CEO of the Investors Circle
Join business
leaders and change agents in learning how local businesses can take
the lead in creating a socially and environmentally sustainable
economy. The businesses that thrive in the 21st Century will be
those that have the ability to adapt and innovate in the face of
a rapidly changing environment. Leading businesses have already
found ways to deliver products and return a profit while also minimizing
their environmental impacts and providing positive benefits to their
communities, customers, and other stakeholders. They recognize that
asking the strategic question of what it takes to be 'sustainable'
often leads to innovation, cost savings, improved morale, and enhanced
public reputation.
The conference
will have an interactive format with a mix of inspirational speakers,
large group conversations, and small group discussions which will
offer participants opportunities to:
. Discover
simple principles that can be practically applied to guide your
organizational decisions to be sustainable
. Learn from
local business leaders who are designing businesses of the future
. Engage in
valuable networking opportunities with peers
. Experience
and tour a LEED-certified Green building
