With emissions restrictions pending in the U.S. and internationally, there will clearly be winners and losers in the new green economy. Icy Williams shares insights on why major corporations are making the move to sustainable development and are requiring their suppliers to do the same. By treating sustainability as a business objective, early movers can develop value and competitive advantage that will be hard pressed to match. Joan Carroll-Flowers explores the challenges for suppliers to “go green” in tough economic times and the consequences if they do not.

Topics for this webinar include:

•Connecting sustainability up and down the supply chain
•Understanding the process of sustainability sourcing
•How green initiatives influence purchasing decisions
•Red flags to watch for when transitioning to sustainability
•Leveraging green to expand the diverse supplier pool

Speakers: Founders of the National Sustainability Coalition and co-authors of The Sustainable Advantage: Doing Business in the GREEN Economy.
