Business of Sustainability Summit

The Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment hosted its inaugural Business of Sustainability Summit on May 5, 2014, engaging a diverse cohort of 54 top CEOs, chief sustainability officers and business unit heads from 47 companies, along with a small group of our faculty representing all seven Stanford schools. This convening stimulated dialogue, built valuable connections and allowed business leaders and Woods faculty who are trailbrazers and pioneers in sustainability to share innovative ideas and strategy. Our corporate partners brought a breadth of expertise; participants included heads of R&D, engineering, innovation, strategy, technology, finance, manufacturing, product development, public policy and government relations.
