Sustainability and the Corporation: Achieving Success in Profits and Impact
Thursday, Jul 15, 2010
12:00 PM
Online
"Sustainability is an emerging megatrend, and thus its course is to some extent predictable." -- The Sustainability Imperative, Harvard Business Review, May 2010 (http://hbr.org/2010/05/the-sustainability-imperative/ar/1)
At some point in the last 10 years, the concept of sustainability moved from being an element of a nice-to-have marketing strategy to a critical component of differentiated corporate strategy. Sustainability has become more than positioning products and services in light of the three pillars of social, environmental and economic benefits. For many companies, sustainability is integrated into the very core of the business. Doing more with less is not only possible, but has become a clear imperative. As the article above references in its first two steps of value creation, the corporation must find ways to 1) do old things in new ways and 2) do new things in new ways. This takes clear leadership, focus and dedication from not only company management, but from all levels of the organization.
Harvard Business School's Green Business Alumni Association (GBAA) will conduct a webinar on the topic of “Sustainability and the Corporation -- Achieving Success in Profits and Impact.”
Beth Springer (EVP and Officer of The Clorox Company)
John Replogle (CEO of Burt's Bees, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Clorox Company)
Andrew Winston (Bestselling author and environmental consultant)
Provide their valuable insights into corporate sustainability, how to make it work, and the challenges of business transformation. The three panelists will provide their perspectives on achieving a successful sustainability strategy and also take questions from attendees.
The cost for the webinar will be $5.00. Upon payment receipt, an email will be sent providing specific instructions for the webinar as to logins and phone numbers.

Mr. Friedman is a partner at Manatt who focuses his practice in multistate regulatory work, e-commerce, consumer protection and antitrust, which includes representing clients before various federal agencies and departments such as the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission, and in enforcement actions by state attorneys general. Mr. Friedman was an Assistant Attorney General in Missouri from 1983-93, last as Director of Multistate Consumer Litigation. As an Assistant Attorney General, Mr. Friedman was a recipient of the National Association of Attorneys General Marvin Award.

Cloud computing is not just for computers anymore. You can now find as much mindshare as you can afford out in the cloud too - new projects are making the application of human brainpower as purchasable and fungible as additional server rackspace.
What are some of the issues arising as armies of thinkers are recruited by the thousands and millions? Zittrain offers a fascinating (and non-scare-mongering) view of a future in which nearly any mental act can be bought and sold.

454 S. California Avenue
Palo Alto, CA 94306
Our second annual sake tasting event returns to Jin Sho, featuring a guided tasting of six premium spring and summer sakes, each custom paired with a delectable seasonal dish prepared by chef-owner Kaneko, formerly of New York City’s famed Nobu restaurant.
Since its opening in December 2007, Jin Sho has received rave reviews for the exceptional quality of its fresh fish, along with its creative interpretations of classic Japanese dishes. We have reserved the entire restaurant for this event.
Miwa Wang, sake-sommelier from True Sake (560 Hayes St, San Francisco), America’s first sake store, will guide us through the mystery and myth surrounding this liberating libation with an introductory ‘Sake 101’ primer. Learn to discern the subtle flavor notes evoked by examples of various sake types and regions, and how they complement different foods. Sakes and books will also be available for purchase.
Space is limited, so don’t miss out on this unique gastronomic treat!
Note that due to a limitation of the software, each attendee must register SEPARATELY.

Ivy League Young Alum Mixer
Friday, Jan 30, 2009
6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
The University Club of San Francisco
800 Powell Street
San Francisco, CA 94108
Young Alums (20s/30s) of all Ivy League colleges and grad schools are encouraged to join us for another blow out drinks night at the elegant University Club of San Francisco. Our last event drew almost 700 Ivy Leaguers, and this one will be even bigger!
Welcome to Stanford and MIT who are joining us once again!!
Based on enthusiastic feedback at the last event, we're once again holding the mixer at the spacious University Club! We will have an entire floor, dedicated staff, and a DJ, with drink specials for the night.
Food will also be available on-site!
To cover help cover the cost of the event, we are asking for a $10 dollar cover charge per person at the door. Please only bring cash or check so that we can avoid lines at the entrance!
Since the University Club is doing so much for us, we would like to give them a fair estimate of attendance. Therefore, we ask that you please click "yes," "no," or "maybe." on the registration Evite. {Under "View More Info", click on "Sign Up Here".} A high response rate also helps us keep our privileges with Evite (so even answering "no" or "maybe" helps!).
Spread the word to your Ivy League / Stanford / MIT friends.
Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale... and Stanford and MIT!
See you there!
