Sustainability is believed to be the greatest business opportunity of our time. Applying a lens that combines environmental, social and economic aspects fosters extraordinary innovation by transforming business, redefining education and transforming communities.
"This is about far more than doing a few green projects. Sustainability provides unprecedented opportunities when it is integrated into the strategy and the culture of an organization." said Diana Rivenburgh, President of Strategic Imperatives. Sustainability Leadership uses a TOTAL approach (Technical, Organizational, Tools, Action, Leadership) designed to put learning into action right away for both immediate and long-term benefits for organizations and to develop participants to be stronger leaders.
"The hands-on format sets the stage for participants to apply what they are learning directly to sustainability issues in their organizations. The series will take them to the next level, whether they are just starting out or well on the path to sustainable prosperity." said Stephanie Armistead, General Manager of GreenBusiness WORKS.
