Join Andrew Winston, co-author of the critically acclaimed new book "Green to Gold" and several other leaders in sustainability as you execute your own eco-advantage...

Sustainable Business Success culminates a two year, 9-city tour of "Eco-Advantage Salons" hosted by SLM and Andrew Winston, co-author of the best selling business book "Green to Gold"and editor of SLM's" Eco-Advantage Strategies newsletter. For 18 months SLM and Mr.Winston have been traveling the country, convening conversations with local wave riders about how they are turning a focus on sustainability in to eco-advantage for their organizations. More and more companies across the US have begun to use sustainability as a framework for rethinking their operational policies, but knowing how to identify the low hanging fruit, where to get started and how to proceed is not simple. The good news is that great learning is taking place in companies large and small across the US, and those leading the way are learning to improve their organizations by adopting innovative, eco-savvy operating practices that work.

SBS will pull together some of the top practitioners from business, community and government whom we met along the way to join a cutting edge discussion on what working, and what's not, as organizations use sustainability as a lens to create new operating efficiency, reduce risks and costs, and build stronger ties to shareholders, employees and the communities in which they work.

SBS will help you get a handle on the perfect storm of forces at play in the today's business environment, and help you identify some of the new standards in efficiency and quality being driven by adopting sustainability as a mindset. Best practices in purchasing, facilities management, transportation and logistics, information technology and more are helping companies garner a preferred partner status from financial institutions and insurers, customers, and business, government or NGO collaborators. Come learn from the leaders, and dialogue about your struggles with peers at a hard-hitting two day confab in NYC this fall.
