Sustainability and CSR: Driving Profitable Business Growth
‘Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower’, said the late Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc. Increasingly, innovation is seen as a critical business development driver. It leads to faster growth, increased market share and better corporate positioning, as Apple is testament. The theme is to be explored through the lens of sustainability and CSR at the Sustain Worldwide organised seminar on 23 May 2012. The seminar’s facilitator Andy
Caldwell of sustainability specialists CoCreate, whose consultants have worked with Sony and SAP, said, “Sustainability is increasingly important in the global market-place – from government regulation through to product development and consumer behaviour. Factoring in these changing trends and drivers to one’s business processes is what leads to real innovation and bottom-line return.” Sustain Worldwide CEO Anwar Harland-Khan said those attending
the event, which is one of a number of seminars organised by the sustainability business alliance, will leave the session with: hard hitting facts to present as to why innovation through sustainability and CSR pays; ideas for effective sustainability and CSR strategies that will win new business; practical pointers to recognise how inter-sector collaboration can deliver profitable business growth; and case studies to underpin how sustainability and CSR drives commercial success.
This and other compelling case studies will be presented by inspirational speakers at the Innovation through Sustainability and CSR: Driving Profitable Business Growth half-day seminar in central London, on Wednesday, 23 May 2012.
The seminar is priced at a nominal amount of £35 ex-VAT (Sustain Worldwide members free). Delegate places are limited to 40, allocated on a first come first served basis. For further information and to book, visit:
