Executive Exchange: Going Green: Is Sustainability the Newest Core Competency? November 2-5, 2008, Pebble Beach, CA
“No executive can afford to ignore the Green Wave sweeping the business world.” — Chad Holliday, CEO, DuPont
Featuring Newt Gingrich and Andrew Winston
Who would ever have imagined the impact CO2 emissions would have on our businesses, our brands and our competitive positioning? From planning to execution, your company’s carbon footprint — as well as those of your suppliers, partners and customers — must be actively managed to power your business strategy.
The impact of environmental issues on today’s businesses is a critical element of boardroom discussions across the globe. Creating competitive advantage by addressing environmental issues is becoming a cornerstone of business strategy for companies large and small. Environmental programs help to generate new revenue streams, enhance brands, alter supply chains, and reduce data center costs. Every industry or company seems to be trying to catch the “Green Wave.”
Going Green is no longer just about “doing the right thing.” Companies must take a good hard look at their overall ecological impact, and act on the implications it has on business strategy. Is it possible for your company to become carbon neutral? Can your organization create competitive advantage through sustainability? What are peers and competitors doing to optimize their entire production and consumption life-cycle? Can greening your business create new growth opportunities, strengthen your brand, and position your company to become a leader in the 21st century global economy? Are your green programs having the positive effect intended or is the market viewing them simply as market hype?
At CSC’s Going Green Executive Exchange, we will address these questions and discuss what companies are doing now — and plan to do in the future — to leverage sustainability efforts. We look forward to sharing our insights and hearing your perspectives on this exciting topic.
