boardroomEDGE announces new event for business leaders that want to make sustainability work.
06 Aug 2008
Since January 2004 the 300 companies in the HSBC Global Climate Change Index have produced nearly twice the profits or returns of other stocks as measured by the MSCI World Index2 (Jan 04 to Sept 07) in a clear sign of the growing demand from investors for securities that address global warming issues in their business models.
In contrast whilst 53% of firms worldwide surveyed by the Economist Intelligence Unit in February 2008 claim to have a sustainability policy, less than one in three executives (29%) say their company has a coherent strategy that covers the whole business and its supply chain.

Sustainability is now at the forefront of everyone’s agenda, but at what price and what reward?

Join boardroomEDGE on 25 September 2008 at Canary Wharf, London for a special late afternoon event of strategic insight and challenging discussion to examine how to achieve the kind of business transformation needed to make sustainability an opportunity with real longevity, not just a drag on the bottom line.

On the agenda for our invitation only senior audience is the case for a proactive position on carbon, the real value of intelligent buildings and sustainability as a trigger for culture change and innovation.

New shareholder value: The risk and reward of sustainability is being held in the spectacular surroundings of the KPMG offices on the 39th floor of Canary Wharf just 15 minutes from central London on the Jubilee Line.

Registration:
This invitation-only event, with no fees for participation. Places are limited and all registrations are subject to approval by boardroomEDGE. If you are interested in attending, please contact Hayley Jopson on hayley@boardroomedge.com or visit New Shareholder Value: The risks and rewards of sustainability for more information.
