Event overview:
The big trends in sustainability for the next 24 months | February 6th 2012�
Sustainability is fast-changing at the best of times, but the increasingly volatile economic conditions are adding a level of complexity to decision-making. As carbon slips down the agenda, resource scarcity and other factors are creating a range of new business models.
The February Green Monday looked at the big trends that will take sustainability into the board room over the next 24 months.
We had an expert panel made up of�Unilever,�BMW�and�Triodos Bank, with a strategic overview from�Green Order’s Andrew Shapiro, and an audience of 160 people in London. The final vote found that it is “innovation in business models” that will lend the most importance to sustainability.
