A One-Day Workshop

 



Sustainable Business Development on the Southcoast


This one-day workshop focuses on enterprises whose sustainable business practises are influencing the SouthCoast economy.

Economic meltdowns, environmental degradation, and social unrest indicate that business as usual is no longer an option.

Exploitation of resources has to be replaced with ecological stewardship that creates long-term wealth and well being. In this next stage of business evolution, irresponsible Industrial production will be replaced by sustainable exchanges that help maintain and enhance the environment, social structures, and prosperity. Enterprises will need to offer products and services that fulfill society's needs while contributing to the well-being of all.
