Driving Competitive Advantage in the Green Economy
THE GREEN BUSINESS SEMINAR is an Alive2green event that is taking place in the eThekwini Municipality on the 16th May 2013 at Coastlands, Umhlanga.. This exciting 1-day seminar will take a laser-focussed look at the issues that are driving competitive advantage for companies in the Green Economy and provide practical insights into the strategies and tactics that are being used by the ‘green stars’.
Entering the Green Economy is relatively simple for almost any category of business and the Seminar seeks to demystify Green Business for those that have not yet chosen a green journey and reinforce the key principles and practices for those that already have. The format of the Green Business Seminar will be based on presentations and panel discussions involving international experts and leaders in their respective fields, who will provide delegates with real, practical insights for application in South African business. A facilitator will guide sessions towards desired outcomes and will promote audience participation and debate. Emphasis will be placed on applied learning and the sharing of tactical information.
