A Clear Road Map for Launching Sustainable Projects

Whether you are working to broaden internal support for a sustainability strategy or championing a specific environmental project, you are certain to face skepticism. In an age of scarce corporate resources, top management expects you to provide details on how a “green” proposal advances core business goals.

Developing a clear and concise business case is critical.

This Webcast provides a number of recommendations and tools specific to the unique challenges you’ll face when in building a business case involving eco-related costs and benefits.

What You Will Learn:

Using examples and case studies, this program explores a practical approach for developing your green initiative, including:

• Tips for getting your initiative started
• Four core elements of “Eco-Advantage” that need to be established for every initiative
• Steps for outlining your business case including risks and opportunities
• Tips for “sharpening your pencil” to develop tangible benefit/cost analysis
