All types of businesses, from health care systems to waste management, from international development to food service, are increasingly seeking to effect positive environmental and social change as they work to achieve profits. No matter the industry, sector, product, service, or customer, "sustainable business" means developing strategies that use business to transform our world for the better; promoting prosperity and in equal measure good health and environmental benefit.
Discussion topics include:
- How can sustainability be defined in terms of environmental, health, social, and/or financial equity?
- How specifically are organizations looking to measure their social and environmental impacts?
- Examples of successful companies utilizing sustainability standards and "triple bottom line” thinking - how does a business begin to frame decisions with an eye toward beneficial, long-term impacts regarding social, human, and environmental concerns?
- Illustrations of efforts to move toward economic growth while simultaneously addressing social needs and environmental problems
