Thirty years ago, when I was a Federal government executive, I witnessed some conservative company owners try to get a forestry professional society director fired because he used the word “sustainability” in the title of the annual convention! There are still some people who think “sustainability” is a socialist conspiracy; but the tide has turned the other way, in that the term is used in all aspects of business and lifestyles. This workshop will discuss how the term does/will/should apply, not just to energy or construction industries, but how it impacts the bottom-line of every business leader.
