Beyond the Green Corporation

The time has come for corporations to answer the call of global warming!

Join us April 18 at Carnegie Mellon for a presentation by senior Business Week writer Pete Engardio, author of the recent cover story "Beyond the Green Corporation." Engardio and a panel of distinguished businessmen, researchers and environmentalists will discuss how corporations can minimize their carbon footprint and integrate sustainable practices into their strategic plans.

"Business Strategies in a Carbon Constrained World", sponsored by The Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research in partnership with Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future (PennFuture), Sustainable Pittsburgh, and World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh, is intended to galvanize into action the momentum surrounding the film Inconvenient Truth, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's reports regarding the causes and effects of global warming.
