In today’s global, integrated, and transparent world, business is expected to do more than deliver shareholder returns. It must deliver them responsibly.
Business is also called on to drive prosperity for the world’s 9 billion people, create game-changing technologies for social benefit, and radically reduce our use of natural resources. The BSR Conference 2011, “Redefining Leadership,” will show business leaders how to create these opportunities by questioning assumptions and examining long-term trends.
Registration opens today for the Conference, which takes place at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero in San Francisco November 1 through 4. Confirmed plenary speakers include former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Strauss Group Chairperson Ofra Strauss, and Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Carlos Brito.
“Leadership in the era of sustainability looks different,” said BSR President and CEO Aron Cramer. “Today’s leaders set big goals; listen to diverse voices; invest in systemic solutions; and focus on building new business models, products, and partnerships.”
A proven, must-attend business event, the BSR Conference 2011 will give participants the inspiration, tools, and connections needed to shape the future – and redefine leadership for their business. The Conference – now in its 19th year – provides the opportunity for company leaders to:
- Take part in the premier global sustainable business event: Ranked at the top of corporate responsibility events globally and recently named to Forbes‘ “Executive Conferences Women CEOs Love Best” list, the annual BSR Conference is one of the world’s largest and most influential events devoted to sustainable business.
