SPRiNG - Whose Job is the "Green" Job? Moving Beyond the Voluntary and Advancing Sustainability by Leveraging "Green" Responsibilities
January 17, 2012
"Employee engagement" is a term sustainability professionals are familiar with -- a means of motivating others within their business or organization toward advancing "green" initiatives.
There are the voluntary measures employees may take (e.g. powering down their computers, recycling waste paper, choosing to print 2-sided, etc.) but these can be piecemeal and difficult to measure. To truly advance sustainability, and do it efficiently, one must target those employees in positions of greatest influence.
Who are these key players? What are their departments? What role do they play in advancing sustainability? When do voluntary measures become "green" responsibilities?
During this session of SPRiNG, Roya Khaleeli will begin by introducing this critical issue. Roya's talk will lead into a roundtable dialogue with the attending sustainability professionals, creating a forum wherein more insightful and critical understanding will come to light.
You must RSVP to attend. Please contact James Watson (information below).
