The Conference Board of Canada is pleased to present a special 60-minute webinar on Monday, September 30, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. EDT that explores green teams. Green Teams 2.0: Scaling Employee Engagement for Greater Impact with Coro Strandberg, sustainability expert and thought leader, will highlight the business case and benefits of repositioned employee green teams and will introduce a framework to leverage their role strategically. Green teams – groups of employees that work to make their company’s operations more environmentally friendly – have been a standard feature of corporate sustainability programming for over two decades. They have achieved great success in tackling the low-hanging fruit of corporate greening. But it’s time to take them to the next level. As we anticipate nine billion people on the planet by 2050 and we predict their two-planet impact on resources and eco-systems, how do companies reboot their green teams for greater business and societal benefit? Green Teams 2.0 with Coro Strandberg will provide a framework to rethink the corporate green team. Coro will describe how to move them beyond small behaviour changes and volunteerism to embed the green agenda into the company strategy and business model. Those with existing green teams will learn about opportunities to expand the green team mandate. Those just starting out will learn how to leap frog modest approaches to design a more strategic program. Coro Strandberg, Principal of Strandberg Consulting, is a leading national corporate social responsibility consultant. She advises corporations and organizations on the integration of sustainability into governance, risk management, strategy and operations in ways that create business and societal value. Coro is a recognized CSR thought leader, with over twenty years of experience in sustainability integration. Coro has advised a number of companies on sustainable procurement strategies and is a co-founder of the Buy Smart Network which provides training and advisory services to organizations integrating environmental, social and ethical considerations into procurement. She has written a number of guides and how-to resources on sustainable supply chain management. Joining Coro for this interactive session is Magdalena Szpala, manager of sustainability at BC Housing, who will share her company’s five-year green team journey as it continues to evolve from initiating simple greening actions to influencing corporate decision-making and strategy. Who will benefit from this webinar? Sustainability and HR executives, facility, CSR and sustainability managers, green team members, environmental organizations, industry associations and government representatives will benefit from this webinar.
