SUMMARY:Firms with Benefits: How Sustainability is Reshaping the Competitive Business Landscape (Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated By Aziza Jamgerchinova ’13BUS ’06JRN \nWednesday\, September 27th\, 2017\n6-8 p.m. \nRefreshments included with RSVP \nWarren Hall\, Room 311\n1125 Amsterdam Avenue\nNew York\, NY 10027 \nOverview\nMost executives understand the strategic importance of sustainability and how profoundly it will affect the success\, and even the survival\, of their businesses. However\, very few have successfully tackled the challenge of creating a truly sustainable organization. \nWhere do businesses turn when seeking to develop or expand their sustainability practices? Where can they find answers to questions around how best to manage their supply chain\, or how to reduce their carbon emissions? \nThe Firms with Benefits platform aims to help businesses understand how others have benefitted from incorporating sustainability into key areas of their organizations such as leadership\, methodology\, strategy\, management\, and reporting. This platform intends to cultivate and enhance both the desire and the ability to use sustainability as a competitive weapon. \nFirms with Benefits will help businesses get smarter\, more competitive\, and more innovative by synthesizing the conversation around sustainability. The goal is to create an instructional content platform with dynamic learning videos that are short\, mobile\, and immediately actionable. The information will be curated for the existing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) community and businesses looking to leverage sustainability-based management. The videos will tell stories that identify key decision points that can be used by other companies looking to implement sustainable practices of their own. \nAreas for discussion \n\nWhat is the driving force behind corporate giants adapting and embracing sustainable business practices?\nWhat are the current sources of information and resources available to a company seeking to develop or expand its sustainability practices?\nWhat are various ways to share and scale knowledge around sustainable business practices and advancements?\nHow should a new sustainable business platform engage with existing groups and incorporate existing resources?\n\nFacilitator Biography\nAziza Jamgerchinova ’13BUS ’06JRN \n\nAziza Jamgerchinova is a digital media consultant specializing in multi-platform content strategy and product development.
