SUMMARY:GRI Global Report Initiative conference 2010
DESCRIPTION:The Amsterdam Global Conference on Sustainability and Tran
 parency\n\nIn May 2010 Amsterdam will once again play host to the worl
 d’s largest gathering of leaders, thinkers and doers in the field of
  sustainability reporting. But this time the stakes are much higher.\n
 \nPeople 4 Earth will be panelist for “Future Trends on Reporting an
 d Product Disclosure”\n\nRethink\n\nOur resource consumption has gon
 e beyond what our planet can sustain, yet billions continue to live in
  poverty. The world’s population is set to increase massively and mo
 re and more people will, understandably, expect to live the lifestyles
  currently enjoyed by the few. This unsustainable outlook has become a
  core business issue, requiring companies and governments to rethink t
 he fundamentals.\n\nRebuild\n\nAs we climb out of global recession we 
 have a unique opportunity – and an urgent need - to rebuild our econ
 omies to meet the challenges of the future; not the past. We have the 
 opportunity to drive the transition to sustainable practices, where su
 stainability is at the core of public policy and business strategy, ev
 ident in products and processes, and key to consumer choices.\n\nRepor
 t\n\nSustainability reporting can be an effective tool for change. Cre
 dible disclosures map out current positions and point the way forwards
 , towards solutions that benefit both business and wider society. Full
  economic, environmental and social accountability is based on transpa
 rent communication. Transparent communication changes perceptions, bui
 lds trust, and motivates action towards greater sustainability.\n\nThe
  Amsterdam conference will convene a debate on how reporting can be us
 ed to help build a better future. Thought leaders from business, finan
 ce, government and civil society will debate the political, strategic 
 and practical choices confronting us. Expert practitioners will lead w
 orkshops and interactive sessions to define the building blocks of mor
 e effective reporting.\n\nSustainability reporting is the key tool dri
 ving us towards a sustainable future.\n\nJoin us at the 2010 Amsterdam
  Global Conference on Sustainability and Transparency to make this fut
 ure a reality.\n\nFor more information visit http://platform.people4ea
