Many corporations have adopted sustainability initiatives, but few have gone beyond
picking the low-hanging fruit of efficiency gains. To remain competitive in a global market, while also confronting pressing issues like climate change, resource scarcity, and supply chain reliability, corporations will need to integrate sustainability at the core of operations.

The future of corporate sustainability is not bound by department or job title, but
transects all areas of operation. What kind of leadership and strategic capabilities are
necessary to overcome the barriers to change in this bold, new landscape?

A prelude to the innovative corporate professional development program Foresight NEXT,
this special event, presented in partnership with Young Professionals Chicago and
Net Impact, features networking for early professionals and a panel discussion on how
bringing sustainability into the core of a business can transform operations and shift
mindsets to create long term success.

Bring clients, connect with colleagues, and develop opportunities while enjoying responsibly
crafted drinks from New Belgium Brewing and and catered hors devours.
