Public interest in environment. Climate policies. Retail pressures on suppliers. Product labeling. New energy technologies. Public expectations of corporate leadership. The media is full of the portents of change and challenge for business.
Is your company prepared to not only survive but actually thrive in this new business environment? Do your executives understand the business case for sustainable development? Do you have the corporate strategies to manage the risks and, in particular, seize the new business opportunities?
The Sustainable Enterprise Academy (SEA), co-sponsored by the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, is offering a Business Leader Seminar on October 15-18 that is designed to help executives formulate robust strategies and lead corporate change for the 21st Century business world.
This seminar, to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is being organized by the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto in association with The Center and the Centre for Advanced Management Education, Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University.
The focus of this event is on harvesting the business value of sustainability through strategies aimed at resource productivity, stakeholder engagement, technology/product innovation and new markets/business models — the keys to both bottom line and top line business success. The SEA Alumni network includes over 400 executives who are applying the concepts, strategies and leadership techniques they developed at SEA.
“Collaborating with York University and Dalhousie allows Boston College to extend its influence among business, government and civil society leaders who are readjusting their long-term strategies to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century,” said Chris Pinney, director of executive education for the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship.
