The following is forwarded from another listserv. Some may be interested in this webcast, scheduled for 9/11/2007.
Barry ***** Colleagues (with normal apologies for cross-postings), Below is a message about a complimentary one hour webcast, "Sustainability: An Emerging Business Paradigm", focusing on the implications of environmental sustainability for business. It reports on results of a survey conducted for the American Management Association by the HR Institute at Farleigh Dickinson University. It appears that it may offer a fairly good overview of sustainability issues, business responses, the relationship between environmental sustainability practices and economic performance, etc. As such, it may be of interest to faculty from around the business school. I forwarded it to my dean, suggesting that an announcement be sent to faculty letting them know about it. I don't know whether they will do so or not, but if so inclined you might wish to do so as well at your school. Registration is complimentary, but required. People can register at <http://sdm3.rm04.net/ctt? kn=2&m=969162&r=Nzk1MDk5OTI3MQS2&b=0&j=MzIxMTUzOTk S1&mt=1> ---------------------------- September 11, 2007 Sustainability An Evolving Business Paradigm <http://sdm3.rm04.net/ctt? kn=2&m=969162&r=Nzk1MDk5OTI3MQS2&b=0&j=MzIxMTUzOTk S1&mt=1> Register Now How can we create a better balance between the needs of people, the planet and profit in both the short- and long-term? Although out of the awareness of many, our ability to step up to this critical challenge affects everyone-both inside and outside of organizations-and challenges businesses as never before. Today an ever increasing number of organizations are becoming aware of the sustainability business paradigm - balancing social, environmental, and economic factors for short- and long-term performance-and, in many cases, are adopting sustainability-related values, principles, strategies and practices.
