Colleagues (with normal apologies for cross-postings),
Below is a message about a complimentary one hour webcast, "Sustainability: An
Emerging Business Paradigm", focusing on the implications of environmental
sustainability for business. It reports on results of a survey conducted for
the American Management Association by the HR Institute at Farleigh Dickinson
University.
It appears that it may offer a fairly good overview of sustainability issues,
business responses, the relationship between environmental sustainability
practices and economic performance, etc. As such, it may be of interest to
faculty from around the business school.
I forwarded it to my dean, suggesting that an announcement be sent to faculty
letting them know about it. I don't know whether they will do so or not, but
if so inclined you might wish to do so as well at your school.
Registration is complimentary, but required. People can register at

How can we create a better balance between the needs of people, the planet
and profit in both the short- and long-term? Although out of the awareness
of many, our ability to step up to this critical challenge affects
everyone-both inside and outside of organizations-and challenges businesses
as never before. Today an ever increasing number of organizations are
becoming aware of the sustainability business paradigm - balancing social,
environmental, and economic factors for short- and long-term
performance-and, in many cases, are adopting sustainability-related values,
principles, strategies and practices.
