Echo Summit 2008

Research is there to provide evidence and insight, and above all, to not lose sight of the things that really matter. Similarly, our events are designed to stimulate sharing of best practice, learning successful and new approaches and providing a forum of useful exchange and dialogue, with our latest Summit being no exception.

Why Sustainability ? Because within the current economic turmoil, this is the one thing that will keep organisations stimulated and going. Because, too, like 'CSR' before it, we see the word being used to mean different things, to different people, in different parts of the world.

What does it mean to YOU?

To capture the breadth of this topic which is either enthusing or confounding organisations everywhere, we brought together leading thinkers and practitioners to help enlighten us from many perspectives - the public, the environment, the corporation, the employee, society and the future ...

You'll see that sustainability is about shared values and transformation. It's not a bolt-on, it's a built in. It's about a new way of thinking and working. It's strategic business change delivering real business success. With fun, passion, creativity, flair and clear gains on all sides.

This is a journey - and the best way to travel it is through active listening, leading and engaging.
