Roadmap for a Sustainable Future - Ceres Conference 2010

(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) Boston, MA - March 3, 2010 - At this moment in time we face a unique opportunity to transform our economic system from one of short-term gains and too-high risks to one where long-term prosperity and corporate social responsibility go hand-in-hand.

As countries continue to negotiate a global deal on climate following the Copenhagen Accord, the U.S. gets closer than ever to adopting comprehensive climate and energy policy. While we wait for these milestones to bring us closer to a cleaner, greener, more sustainable way of doing business, corporations and investors alike are exploring solutions and seizing opportunities that will help us prosper in a low-carbon economy.

Join us in Boston as we bring together corporate directors, CEOs, environmental and labor leaders, investors, and corporate governance experts to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.

FEATURED SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

• Maude Barlow, National Chairperson, Council of Canadians; Chair, Food and Water Watch

• Thomas B. King, Executive Director and President, National Grid USA 

• Gilbert T. Casellas, Vice President, Corporate Responsibility, Dell, Inc.
