Maude Barlow, Fisk Johnson, Jack Ehnes Head Ceres Conference 2010 Line-up

(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) Boston, MA - March 31, 2010 - Companies and investors increasingly recognize that sustainability performance is fundamental for business success in a low-carbon, resource-constrained global economy. But we need more than incremental progress. The best performing companies of the 21st century will be those that recognize this evolving new order, and invest and act now.

The Ceres Conference 2010: Roadmap for a Sustainable Future will explore what it takes to scale sustainable solutions exponentially across entire business models, products and services and will examine what is needed to achieve sweeping change at a time of unprecedented global challenges.

For 20 years Ceres has brought together companies, investors, environmentalists and other stakeholders to integrate sustainable solutions into business strategy and build long-term shareholder value. Now we have created a 21st century blueprint for the next generation of corporate responsibility: The Ceres Roadmap for Sustainability.

Join us on May 5-6 in Boston to share our vision, identify new best practices and learn ready-to-go strategic ideas to help lead the transition to a sustainable economy. Register online at www.ceres.org/conference.
