G21 - Swisstainability Forum - Lausanne 2013

The first eco-collaborative forum that presents key players, projects and tools for corporate sustainable management

HEP LAUSANNE

This forum is intended for executives, directors, and project managers of small and medium-sized businesses, multi-national and other organisations that are interested in learning more about sustainable options for their business.

The objective is not only to understand the challenges and opportunities in terms of sustainable development at a company level, but also to guide decision-makers to put adequate measures in place in accordance with their own activities. To achieve this, professionals in this booming sector will be present to lead thematic conferences and to present their experiences and activities.

Eight sustainable themes will be discussed in sessions of 3 presentations, each including a short presentation of the challenges as well as personal experiences and examples of concrete actions taken by businesses. Finally, a discussion will be held to encourage participants to share their experiences and to ask questions.
