February 16: Andrew Savitz on "How to Achieve Economic, Social and Environmental Success"
 On Thursday morning, February 16, MAGNET's Management Leadership Series features Andrew Savitz, an internationally known expert on corporate social responsibility and sustainability. The presentation will be simulcast at MAGNET's Manufacturing Innovation Center in Cleveland and at the Youngstown Business Incubator. In 2006, Savitz published The Triple Bottom Line: How the Best Run Companies are Achieving Economic, Social and Environmental Success — and How You Can Too. In it, the author charts the rise of sustainability within the business world and shows how—and why—financial success increasingly goes hand in hand with social and environmental achievement. Savitz will chronicle both the real problems that companies face and the innovative solutions that can come from sustainability. He will present practical advice on how to create a blueprint for a sustainable, profitable future in today's daunting era of environmental and social pressures. The presentation is free to Northern Ohio manufacturers, but advance registration is required. View the online invitation or register online today. Or contact Linda Barita, (216) 391-7766. |
