UP COMING EVENTS:
Green Strategy 2011(GS11)
There is a growing realisation in boardrooms across many sectors that the current rise in energy and commodity prices may not be a short term trend. A growing number of economists and investors are seeing it as the early stages of a long term rise in resource prices that will disrupt many sectors of the economy and re-define business models. What Jeremy Grantham, Chief Investment Officer at GMO a $150bn global investment management fund, calls 'The Great Paradigm Shift'.
Green Strategy 2011(GS11) will convene the leading minds to look at how companies should draw up strategies in response to an era of rising resource prices. We have big ambitions for what it will achieve, through a combination of the following;
- Leading global speakers and panellists
- An unparalleled list of attendees
- Cross-industry collaboration to create a Strategy Framework
- Our inaugural Green Paper
- A sector resource scarcity Exposure Indicator
- And an animated output that is designed to go viral.....
If that feels like anything you have done before, we will pack our bags and get a proper job....
Green Strategy is the Summit event for the Green Monday programme, pulling together the best speakers, topics and formats from the 30+ events that we have held in the preceding 12 months. Now in its 5th year, it is well established in the corporate calendar, 2011 will see the focus and reach go global.
