Event Details

ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. Chicago is home to a wide variety of multinational corporations facing global pressure to incorporate greater environmental and social values into their operations. While international in scope, these corporations often have staff in their local headquarters working on global sustainability issues. The Chicago Roundtable on Corporate Sustainability provides a forum for these individuals and related organizations to network, share their challenges and successes, and participate in a larger community. Motivating Change: Drivers for Corporate Sustainability Public pressure, top-down commitment, potential future regulation, cost savings, non-profit activism, and new market growth are all potential influencing the move toward greater corporate sustainability. Join three Chicago-based corporate sustainability executives for a discussion of the motivation for change within their organizations. What obstacles do they face? What factors are driving what change? Join us for a morning of networking and targeted insights. "This was the best networking event I've been to in the past 6 months!" -- May roundtable attendee Panelists Include: McDonalds Bob Langert, VP of Corporate Social Responsibility Motorola Emily Barton Interface Lindsay James, Manager of Sustainability Strategy
