Thanks to all who made our State of Green Business Forum such a success, including the terrific speakers and the more than 400 professionals who packed PG&E Auditorium in San Francisco last Thursday. My editorial colleagues -- Matthew Wheeland, Tilde Herrera, Leslie Guevarra, and Jonathan Bardelline, plus Senior Contributor Marc Gunther and several others -- provided wall-to-wall coverage. You can find complete coverage here. In the coming days, we'll also post videos of the proceedings.
It's not over, of course. This week, we do it all again, on Tuesday in Chicago. There are a few seats remaining, if you haven't yet signed up.
Of course, the state of green business didn't stop while we presented the State of Green Business. There was Davos, from which our correspondent Colin Dyer filed a firsthand report on the state of innovative thinking there. GE announced a new round of ecomagination products, this one focusing on healthcare. Danish pharma giant Novo Nordisk made the business case for green in a new report showing that its greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption dropped in 2009, at the same time the company boosted sales and profits. And a report by PricewaterhouseCooper found that banks with strong environmental commitments and achievements haven't yet cleaned up their investment portfolios, environmentally speaking. And yet another study -- the 2010 CDP Supply Chain report, from the Carbon Disclosure Project -- outlines the business case for procurement departments to introduce climate change into their supplier relationships.
That's a lot to absorb in one week -- that, of course, and our own State of Green Business 2010 report.
But that's in part why we're here -- to bring you the research of consequence, along with some context and insight into what it all means. As always, there's much more to come.
