Driving Sustainable Value Creation: Grasping Opportunities

Event Overview

KPMG International invites you to view up to four video webcasts simulcast from its Global Summit, Business Perspective on Sustainable Growth: Preparing for Rio+20. This Summit will address one of the fundamental challenges of our time: driving sustainable business growth in a resource-constrained world.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg will discuss New York City's progress toward becoming a sustainable city. Ron Insana will then lead a panel discussion with Peter Bakker, president, World Business Council for Sustainable Development; Dennis Jönsson, CEO and president, Tetra Pak; Steen Riisgard, president and CEO, Novozymes; Greg Sebasky, chairman of Philips Electronics North America and CEO of Global Customer Services for Philips Healthcare.

Doing business is increasingly shaped by global sustainability trends such as energy security, resource scarcity and climate change. The private sector is progressively turning these challenges into business opportunities, driving innovation with new more efficient technologies, processes and products.

This webcast will highlight new market opportunities that are emerging from the challenges posed by global drivers, thus helping business sustain future economic growth in a resource-constrained world.
