Addressing global warming is becoming an important public and global concern. Developing new sources of energy, conserving natural resources, and protecting the environment are priority concerns of employees, consumers, and leading companies. The green movement is penetrating every facet of international commerce. Clearly corporate citizenship in this area is increasing. Companies are awakening to the understanding that “going green” enhances corporate reputation, brand image, and bottom-line profitability.
This new green focus puts pressure on corporate communications professionals to develop effective new messages that demonstrate the adoption of new earth-friendly practices that protect the environment.
Join Best Practices in Corporate Communications (BPCC) at 4pm EST on Thursday, April 17, 2008 to examine case studies from global business leaders and share proven best practices in Green Communications. And now, BPCC is extending this invitation to Diversity Best Practices members... registration is free!
