The theme of this year’s conference is Building for Tomorrow. In today’s world, companies are constantly thinking about the sustainability of their business choices and how they can best prepare for the future. With more and more focus being placed on their environmental and social impacts, companies must act today to adapt and build for their success tomorrow. What does it look like when impact and sustainability are woven into the core of a company’s growth plan? How do organizations choose the social or environmental issues they care about and track progress to meeting goals? We’ll answer these questions and more at the 19th Annual Sustainable Business & Social Impact (SBSI) Conference. By registering you’ll receive access to all sessions, breakfast, and lunch on the day of the conference. All proceeds from the event will benefit Fuqua’s Student Internship Fund which supports students interning with non-profits, B-Corps, and Social Enterprises. You can learn more here.
