“Triple bottom line” is the new business buzzword. More and more companies, like B Corporations (as in B the change you seek in the world) for example, are concerning themselves with this trio: people, planet, profits.
Can business really be about more than the traditional bottom line? You betcha. And on November 8th and 9th at UCLA, you can find out more about who and what are moving creative, sustainable, socially responsible business and be part of the conversation through Opportunity Green.
The conference will be a confluence of business-savvy members of the green economy with sessions led by Rick Ridgeway of Patagonia, Lorrie Vogel of Nike, Tom Szaky of Terracycle along with folks from Dwell, GOOD and Whole Foods and, as they say, many, many more.
Who should attend? Industry leaders, green entrepreneurs and anybody with big ideas.
Check out the full agenda and get registered–a whole world of green opportunity awaits.
