The Eighth International Greening of Industry
Network Conference
Sustainability: Ways of Knowing/Ways of
Acting
November 14-17, 1999 Hosted by:
The Kenan-Flagler Business School
As more companies begin to address the challenge of global sustainability,
there is a great need for informed dialogue about the multitude of
strategic and pragmatic issues that arise related to stakeholder
expectations, public policies, business practices and innovative
technologies. The purpose of this important conference is to bring
together leading international experts from industry, government, NGOs and
academia in an open forum to discuss both research findings (ways of
knowing) and implementation processes (ways of acting) related to the
"triple bottom line" of sustainable development-economy, ecology and
society. This event should not be missed by anyone whose organization has
embarked on the journey to sustainability.

Over the past decade, companies have begun to transform their view of
environment from a compliance burden into a business
opportunity. Increasingly, environmental awareness is being integrated
into core business processes, systems and strategies. In electronic,
automotive, energy and consumer product industries, competitive advantage
is being sought through pollution prevention, industrial ecology, design
for environment, life-cycle management and clean technology
development. Achieving "sustainable development" has emerged as an
important challenge-and potentially a source of competitive advantage-for
multinational corporations intent on expanding into new global markets.
The Eighth International Greening of Industry Network Conference will be
held at Kenan-Flagler Business School (McColl Building) on November 14,
1999, and at the Friday Center November 15-17, 1999. Both locations are
part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill located in the
city of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, a part of the Research
Triangle. Average temperatures for North Carolina in November range from
36 F/2 C to 62 F/17 C.
