A True Commitment to Sustainability: The Relevance of Green Business Initiatives
Learning Outcomes: Increase knowledge and awareness of current trends and business outcomes of green initiatives.
A “green” business is committed to considering the impact that strategy and products have on the environment and the community. Going “green” ensures that business practices, policies, and procedures are designed based on values that improve the quality of life for customers and employees. Businesses are becoming more environmentally conscious as the long -term benefits of sustainable business practices become more apparent. According to a 2011 study by MIT, sustainability is now a permanent part of 70% of corporate agendas. Most companies now also consider green practices to be vital to remaining competitive and many affirm that these practices are contributing to profits. This seminar will explore the value and process of going green.
At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
- Explore innovative and sustainable green initiatives
