Audio conference highlights
We are constantly being bombarded by terms like green, sustainable, and social responsibility. Corporations, state and municipal officials and consumers are being urged to reduce their “carbon footprint” and to become more “green” and “sustainable.”
Both the public and private sector are engaged in parallel decision-making processes addressing the environment and the sustainability of the society as a whole. These decisions will affect the way corporations and government work, and the shape of the business environment. Changes in consumer behavior will affect how corporations and government will deliver their goods and services. The goal is to raise the level of debate on climate change and the environment, and promote an understanding of what government officials at the federal, state and municipal level are trying to say and do. This audio conference looks at the concepts behind the trendy buzzwords, and examines both the social and business case for 'going green'.
This audio conference covers:
- Basic concepts and terminology related to sustainability
- Social responsibility – what we are talking about?
- Who is green? Are you green?
- How do we measure our impact? An introduction to life cycle analysis
- Will a particular technology be the single solution that lets us be in tune with our ecosystem?
