Net Impact HEC Sustainable Development Conference 2008 click here for further information On the 11th and 12th of September 2008, HEC-Paris will host the 5th annual Sustainable Development Conference on the HEC campus. The emphasis this year is Weaving Sustainability into the Corporate Fabric. Corporate sustainability is undergoing transformation. Previously the purview of specific individuals acting independently of the corporation, sustainability has now attained a level of political and societal momentum that demands a more integrated and aligned approach. Yesterday’s social philanthropy is being supplanted by diverse and decentralized approaches as corporations come to recognize the potential for long-term value creation and competitive advantage in applying sustainable business practices. The successful implementation of sustainability in this new business environment will require knowledge and leadership from managers at all levels and across all functions of an organization. This year’s annual HEC Paris Responsible Business conference features an innovative format with a structure that embodies the conference theme. The conference structure reflects the weaving of sustainability into all aspects of business. The program will be organized into thematic tracks dealing with energy, Millennium Development Goals and social responsibility, but will also allow for people to consider these sustainability issues and challenges from financial, strategic and entrepreneurial perspectives. The two-day conference will bring together leading professionals, academics and students from around the world to share lessons-learned, present innovative ideas and prepare future leaders to manage the changing business environment. Keynote speakers for the conference include Emmanuel Faber, COO, Director and Member of the Social Responsibility Committee of Danone and Louis Verma, VP of Petroleos de Venezuela, as well as speakers and panelists from L’Occitane Foundation, SustainAbility, PWC Advisory, Veja, Partners in Change, Business Leaders on Human Rights, ALOE Private Equity, Valmer Capital, the Grameen-Danone project and more!

Net Impact HEC We operate as a local chapter of Net Impact International, an innovative and influential global network of 13 000 MBA students, academics and professionals working in the area of corporate sustainability. We believe that corporate sustainability is the use of business pragmatism to align private interest with societal good - securing infinite and maximum benefits to both. Our vision is to establish the HEC School of Management as a preeminent contributor to the shaping of corporate sustainability strategies and policies in France, in Europe, and internationally. Our mission is to educate our stakeholders on the interconnection between environment, society, and business; to create a new generation of business leaders committed to promoting sustainable business practice; and to bridge research, theory and practice of corporate sustainability.
