About the Program
"Everyone's Going Green" will address the range of environmental issues your business faces and help you to approach them in an informed, ethical, and responsible way. The scope of the challenge is immense, and corporations, shareholders, activists, and governments are only now beginning to respond. Attendees at the conference will learn about the following developments:
· increased regulation & enforcement - governments no longer tolerating businesses that ignore the environmental impact they produce
· voluntary limits - corporations joining together and agreeing to limit their environmental impact
· innovation - high-tech and management solutions that are transforming business and the way consumer behavior
· your company's carbon footprint - measuring the impact your company is having on the global environment
· emissions trading - creating a market in which companies must pay for the right to engage in environmentally harmful activities
· carbon offsets - becoming a carbon neutral company by compensating for the emissions that you must produce
· green investing - how your company can benefit from the movement toward investing in environmentally friendly businesses
· shareholder activism - how to respond to shareholder demands to run your company in a responsible & sustainable manner
