A four-day forum exploring how companies can be both sustainable and profitable comes to Simon Fraser University's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver October 20-23, 2003.
Presented by the Sustainable Enterprise Academy, North America's premier executive education program on sustainable development, and hosted by SFU Business and the Schulich School of Business, the conference features sustainability experts from the United Kingdom, USA and Canada. It is also attracting senior executive participants from companies such as Alcan, Dofaso, DuPont Canada, Enbridge, Methanex, Suncor Energy and the Vancouver Port Authority.
The intensive seminar series teaches participants how to use sustainable initiatives, strategies, models and tools to increase profits, reposition their company for competitive advantage, attract and retain employees and manage the overall corporate culture change. The series incorporates presentations, workshops, stakeholder negotiation simulations, case studies, learning teams and presentations by corporate executives whose firms have begun to shift their business practices.
In the learning team sessions, coaches assist participants to explore and discuss sustainability issues relevant to their industries, examining ways to apply concepts learned in the seminars. The seven coaches, all sustainability experts, include Bob Willard, author of The Sustainability Advantage, Sam Moore, vice-president, research and development, Burlington Chemical Co., and Gord Lambert, vice-president, sustainable development, Suncor Energy Ltd.
