Action Plans for Green Transformation of Companies: (including product design, logistics, facilities, and CSR)

Abstract: Now it is time to put into action all that you have learned from this conference about sustainability and the business case to go green in your operations. You and the other attendees will break into pairs or triads, and using the Sustainability Map plot your company on the map. Then, together we will generate ideas for where your company can progress on the map by 2011. (See the map in the lower left corner of this webpage.) Now, you are truly prepared to be a change agent at your company!
