Cleantech & Carbon Finance Panel Discussion | 111 Minna

Submitted by the Event Organizer

April 14, @ 6:00pm – 111 Minna Gallery – The Carbon Collaborative partners with Brighter Planet, Climatini, CarbonFlow, and the NACW Conference to host an evening of cleantech and carbon finance networking and a panel presentation on Employee Engagement in corporate sustainability initiatives.

Employee Engagement is becoming an increasingly popular means to drive corporate sustainability efforts. Around the world, companies and communities are mobilizing their workforces to lessen pollution, waste and operational inefficiencies. However, a new analysis by Brighter Planet suggests that employees are generally dissatisfied with their employers’ sustainability initiatives. Moreover, many employers are unable to quantify the effects of their internal efforts. This finding is especially timely in light of increasing executive pressure to measure the impact of sustainability work on bottom line.

We’ll preview the new Brighter Planet study and consider the following:

* How can companies enhance CSR strategies by fusing employee initiative and forward green thinking?
* How does the strategy of sustainable employee engagement fit within the larger theme of CSR?
* How can we measure CSR/EE impacts upon triple bottom lines?
* What are the pros and cons of implementing top-down vs. bottom-up sustainability programs?
* How should companies incentivize employee-led initiatives?
* Where are the cutting-edge opportunities and best-practice ideas?

The panel runs from 6:00pm – 7:30pm, or skip the presentation and stop by anytime for drinks and a chance to connect with colleagues. This event is free of charge with a cash bar. Space is limited for the panel discussion, so please register in advance.
