UCLA to Spotlight Sustainable Business
UCLA is quickly becoming the go-to spot for quality sustainability events and resources, and this month is no exception. Two events on the docket look to be productive for those interested in sustainable business.
First up on March 12th, the Sustainable Resource Center, in partnership with several UCLA clubs, is hosting a panel discussion dedicated specifically to sustainability consulting. Since this topic encompasses a variety of services, such as high-level strategy, facilities management, and environmental compliance, the panel will represent each of these different perspectives. Specifically, panelists wil discuss the evolution of sustainability consulting, emerging trends, and the possible business opportunities and career paths available.

To be held at the UCLA Anderson School of Management in the Executive Dining Room in Gold Hall, the panel discussion will occur from 7:00 - 8:00pm, followed by open networking until 9:00pm. The event is free (though parking will set you back $6-8) but space is limited, so RSVP right away.
The following week on March 20th, UCLA is hosting a panel discussion and networking event entitled, “How Does Going Green Affect the Bottom Line?” Focused on corporate social responsibility and green initiatives and organized by AeA, the nation’s largest technology trade association, industry panelists will share their “Triple Bottom Line” success stories and will discuss how companies can improve profitability through a commitment to the environment.
Moderated by Diane Wittenberg, Executive Director of The Climate Registry, the panel will discuss topics involving green technology initiatives, reduction of emissions, environmental stewardship, E-waste and green IT, water and energy usage, employee relations, sustainable practices, government incentives, and even cautionary tales about greenwashing.
This event will also be held at the UCLA Anderson Executive Dining Room in Gold Hall, from 5:30 - 8:00pm. However, when you RSVP there is a fee: $55 for AeA members and $75 for non-members. If you’re looking for information or contacts related to green technology, it seems a small price to pay.
