Green Business Summit

 

Companies realize more than ever the impact they have on natural resources and the environment.  The BBJ will look into unique ways companies make changes with everything from green construction, to reducing carbon footprints, to sustainability.  This event will include a keynote speaker and panel discussions to explore best practices. A green wave is coming to businesses big and small, and a slew of local pioneers are rolling out new technologies and business policies to set Massachusetts’ course on the energy frontier. Green initiatives are everywhere, and the Boston Business Journal will explore local environmental leadership with its Green Business Report and Green Business Summit in May. Our report will include an in-depth special supplement featuring a slew of green initiatives — everything from how companies are self-auditing their energy initiatives to what the state is doing to advance its own energy agenda. Research on green investing and construction, as well as no-holds-barred take on real vs. faux green efforts, are also planned. The special supplement’s publication will correspond with the BBJ’s inaugural Green Summit event, a best-practices conference that will feature industry-leading speakers and panelists representing various corners of the business, energy, architectural and conservation sectors.   Keynote Speaker: Keynote Speaker:  Jim Gordon, CEO, Cape Wind Best Practices: Think Green, Design Green, Build Green  Moderator: Martin Madaus, PhD, CEO, Millipore Corp.
