State of the World Forum - Moblizing to Save Civilization: Ten Year Plan to Address Climate Change
February 28 - March 3, 2010. Washington, DC, USA
We are in momentous times. The world is undergoing a meltdown of our financial systems, and all of us are being affected. We are confronted by the escalating effects of global warming, and thousands of scientists worldwide are saying that if we do not act decisively soon natural forces may synergize beyond human control. We are bearing witness to corruption and incompetence in high places, and yet thousands, indeed millions of people worldwide, are mobilizing to act.
We need to come together to both understand what is taking place and to develop plans for moving forward. There is much that we can do both individually and collectively. The technologies exist to solve our problems. The values we need are emerging all around us. The vision we must embrace is becoming clear and compelling. The 09 Forum will profile the technologies, affirm the values, and clarify the vision.

Ethical Sourcing Forum
March 18 - 19, 2010. New York, NT, USA
Visualize. Rethink. Solve! These crucial elements of any sustainability program will serve as the basis of the next Ethical Sourcing Forum in New York on March 18-19th, 2010. Join Intertek Sustainability Solutions as we host the ninth annual ESF North America.
At this intensive, two-day session you and fellow delegates will explore the latest innovations in driving Return On Sustainability Investment (ROSI). Also, the ESF’s trademark Innovation Labs will continue to build on the ‘mind-mapping’ exercises of previous Forums and provide insights into sustainability decision-making, lifecycle assessment methodology, improved collaboration techniques, and effective carbon, energy and water footprint management. These labs will further investigate “contextual alignment” as an essential element of stakeholder engagement – as well as how supply chain challenges can be “reframed” as exciting business opportunities.
