EVENT POSTPONED

 Sustainability Roundtable titled, “Return on Sustainability (ROS): Gaining Benefits from a Comprehensive Sustainability Strategy.”

It has been said that in the near future there will be two kinds of companies – the ones that will survive and thrive following best practices in Sustainability and the skeptical ones that will struggle in this new business environment.

It is a fact that corporate management practice is undergoing serious transformation due to a well-established trend towards a sustainable development approach, especially amidst the global financial and economic crisis.

However, as business is required to focus on its profitability, the Business Case of Sustainability must be identified and constantly focused on. Each initiative taken to better integrating sustainable business principles must be linked back to a core business driver of the company. The CSE will lead discussion, with guest speakers, on the importance to systematically identify the RoS.

If your Sustainability team is struggling to identify the Return on Sustainability (RoS) of your initiatives, this roundtable will examine the practices of leading companies, such as Motorola Solutions, to understand how value is identified and linked to the overall business strategy.
