    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.

    about sustainability-related issues
    The relationship between sustainability and company performance

    The twelve most widely used sustainability-related practices
    The business factors driving greater focus on sustainability, as
    well as factors hindering its progress, both today and as we look forward
    into the next ten years
    How the most sustainable companies create a foundation, traction
    and broad stakeholder engagement for sustainability
    Best practices from such sustainability leaders as Ray Anderson
    from Interface, Inc., and Govi Rao from Philips Lighting
