The Business of Climate Change October 29, 2007

By managing the risk of climate change and lowering impact on the environment, leading companies are gaining investor confidence, reducing their exposure and increasing profits. The rules of business are changing. Lead the way, and grow in a new environment.

The theme of The Business of Climate Change Conference 2007 will be 'from theory to practice' with a special focus on the practical and operational business implications of the evolving regulatory and policy context in North America.

It wasn't long ago that the majority of Canadian business leaders didn't believe climate change was material to their business strategy. No longer. Led by concern over climate change, the environment now tops the public opinion polls and is rapidly driving change at the government and corporate level. Global leaders from economists to Prime Ministers are now calling climate change the economic challenge of the 21st century.

Some North American businesses have already incorporated climate change into their business strategies, while others are playing catch up. Join us at the second annual Business of Climate Change Conference and hear from leading businesses on their successes and their challenges in addressing climate change in their organizations. Held in Ottawa to foster dialogue with policymakers, the 2007 conference has an impressive array of speakers from across North America that you won't want to miss. The rules of business are changing.
