    Corporate Finance and Global Sustainability

     

    We are interested in exploring the ways financial managers are responding to and leading their companies' efforts to reduce their global footprints - that is, to manage themselves in ways that contribute to global sustainability.  One of our early steps involves putting together a Panel Discussion Session for the Financial Management Association International 2007 European Conference in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Barcelona</st1:place></st1:city>.  We envision a panel of 5-6 people, of whom we would be two.  We would appreciate your help in identifying 3-4 other panelists.  Because the Conference is in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Barcelona</st1:place></st1:city>, European financial executives of companies with a deep commitment to managing for global sustainability would be ideal.  However, finance people, practitioners, or academics knowledgeable on this subject from any part of the world would be excellent for the panel.  The deadline for submitting our proposal is December 1st.  Please send your thoughts to Jim Stoner (stoner@fordham.edu , 212-636-6178) and to Frank Werner (fwerner@fordham.edu , 212-636-6213).  Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    Hi Jim,

    Any more details about this fascinating work you are doing? Maybe some of our Finance people can attend? Do you have info on the conference?

    Yours,
