In the wake of the failed Copenhagen climate talks, leaders in c-suites around the world are asking: What will the new rules be? What role will the government play? How can I plan for the future when there's so little clarity? In the meantime, clean technologies ranging from solar to wind to electrified cars are reaching scale, and new environmental issues including greenhouse gas regulations, carbon finance, and sustainability reporting are arising all the time. In this new and rapidly changing arena, every business leader will need to understand how corporations can become more sustainable. Join us to explore our theme: How can business profitably help solve the world's big environmental problems?
Brainstorm: GREEN offers an unparalleled, high-level networking opportunity. The participants are diverse—CEOs and senior executives of Fortune 500 companies, government policymakers, leading thinkers, investors, and environmental activists. The program will include one-on-one interviews, debates, informal breakout sessions, and ample time for mingling.
