Green vs. Greenwashing: Environmental Strategies of Businesses
Many businesses try to balance commercial,
environmental, and social objectives but risk being
accused of only superficially caring about the environment
for PR purposes. In this session, participants
look at this challenge using a case study that helps
them understand how environmental strategies can
be both pragmatic and authentic.
Environmental Sustainability and the Supply Chain
Today's supply chains require a new set of
capabilities: agility, adaptability, and alignment.
These concepts are tightly coupled with the impact
of environmental sustainability. This session will
examine how to attain these capabilities and how
they can be applied in your supply chain.
High-Profile Activism: Media and Boycotts
An important aspect of business strategy involves
managing the "non-market" environment of activists,
interest groups, and the media. In this session,
participants examine how and why high-profile
activism shapes firms, and how firms can manage
these pressures effectively.
