Green Business Roundtable invites everyone who is interested in issues at the intersection of business and sustainability to come for networking, discussion and insight. Join us!
This month's Topic: Bringing International Corporate Sustainability to Local Impact: The Intersection of Strategy and Results On the Ground 
Often, a consumer’s interaction with corporations that lead in international sustainability are rooted in traditional point of purchase or post consumption models, such as purchasing sustainable products or ensuring responsible disposal. Equally as often, corporations focus on collating good data and anecdotes for their annual report.
But the true corporate leaders are those who approach sustainability as a systems innovation: working with their suppliers, strengthening the communities in which they operate, and growing the purchasing power of markets within which they sell. And often the greatest impact of these value chain-based implementations are in developing nations.
This Month's Speaker: Gwen Davidow, Acting President, World Environment Center
The World Environment Center is an independent, global, non-profit,
non-advocacy organization that advances sustainable development through
the business practices of member companies and in partnership with
