Business Beyond Tomorrow

For the first time Concordia University, HEC Montreal and McGill University are joining forces for their annual conference on sustainability; Business Beyond Tomorrow. The conference is a unique initiative that brings together the Montreal student community, corporate leaders, and sustainable leaders to discuss sustainable business practices. Business Beyond Tomorrow explores the sustainable strategies and practices of businesses today, the obstacles faced by the industry in becoming sustainable and common goals for the future.

The mission of the Sustainable Business Conferences is to increase the sustainability literacy of the student community and to highlight businesses that have incorporated sustainability into their practices. Furthermore, Business Beyond Tomorrow is an opportunity for them to see that sustainability and economic prosperity need not be mutually exclusive. It is a chance for them to learn beyond the scope of the classroom, through exposure to tangible examples of ingenuity, determination, and success.

In order to achieve a greater level of depth, the conference will cover the 3 pillars of sustainability; ecology, economy and social issues. On March 11th 2010, Business Beyond Tomorrow will discuss on a diversity of subjects, from sustainable energy, to sky farming and cradle to cradle products just to name a few.
