Sustainable Brands '09 Program

Thank You For Your Interest In SB'09!
The Sustainable Brands Conference has become the preeminent event for discussing the rapid rise of sustainability as a driver for revenue growth and brand equity in the 21st Century. Our goal is to amplify business success surrounding innovation for sustainability, to educate business leaders throughout an organization about how they can contribute to a more sustainable brand, and to grow the market for business solutions that can help a company reduce its environmental impact and play a more positive role in the lives of its stakeholders.
2009 Conference Theme: "Collaborating For Success"
Those who are leading breakthrough innovation for sustainability recognize that the best new solutions are being born out of a new set of productive problem-solving conversations. These conversations are taking place between business functions, between companies and their customers and other stakeholder groups, between businesses across market sectors and continents, and even between competitors in many cases as we seek to find ways to share key learning while still maintaining a clear sense of individual identity and brand.
