OPPORTUNITY GREEN SUMMIT 2012
"achieving your corporate goals sustainably"
28-29 March 2012, The Sebel Albert Park Hotel, Melbourne

Sustainability has rapidly evolved from the periphery of business concerns now newly graduated as the imperative element steering business success. The Opportunity Green Summit will examine how this fundamental shift is transforming the business idea of value moving beyond the profit balance sheets to incorporate nonfinancial metrics. Opportunity Green will detail how a variety of societal factors have converged to create consumers, whether  green or mainstream who don't simply want green products,  rather solutions to everyday  problems that also make sense for our community and environment.

The Opportunity Green Summit will outline that in order to effectively capitalise on sustainable business practices and the new market opportunities, it is increasingly apparent businesses require an authentic and transparent sustainability strategy assimilated into all elements of the core business.
