Addressing Climate Change for Sustainable and Profitable Business

February 27 - February 29, 2008
Denver, Colorado

The rules of business are changing. Climate change is at the height of media attention and has become an important part of current business trends. The 2008 Sustainable Opportunities Summit will explore how companies can financially benefit from becoming more engaged in addressing climate change.

As evidence mounts that human activity is contributing to global warming, many leading businesses are taking meaningful steps to address the climate challenge. In the process, they are realizing significant opportunities by creating new sought-after products, realigning the way they operate, and reducing their energy costs. Companies are finding that managing the risk of climate change and lowering their impact on the environment allows them to gain investor confidence, reduce their exposure to non-compliance, and increase their profits.

In a carbon-constrained world, the political, economic and legal rules governing commerce are certain to change. Colorado’s Governor Ritter has made a commitment to establish a New Energy Economy. Policy, legislative and regulatory shifts are all being considered at the state and national levels.

The 2008 Sustainable Opportunities Summit brings together corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists from across Colorado and the nation in a unique forum to assess the growing opportunities created by climate change.

One important opportunity is the development of less energy intensive technologies; including environmental sourcing decisions, organizing internal operations to emphasize innovation; and building partnerships with non-governmental organizations committed to reducing climate change. The Summit will explore how various economic sectors and industries are already profiting from meeting this challenge and incorporating climate change into their business strategies.
