Sustainability Solutions Cafe: "Taking Sustainability Literally"
When: 3-4:30pm
Where: Fairchild Tower Lobby
What: This inaugural Sustainability Solutions Café will explore the  
challenge of incorporating multiple dimensions of sustainability  
assessment into modern business practice without resorting to  
meaningless corporate "green-washing".

Come participate in café-style small group discussions, initiated and  
framed by Mark McElroy's concepts of vital capitals and context-based  
sustainability metrics.  Cabot Creamery Director of Sustainability,  
Jed Davis '83, T'85, will share how his company has used such metrics  
to "take sustainability literally" to the benefit of the their bottom  
line, employees, customers, and the environment. For more on this  
topic, see http://www.sustainableorganizations.org/ and a copy of  
Corporate Sustainability Management on reserve at Kresge Library.
