More than 700 sustainability executives are set to convene next month in Arizona to discuss the trends, tools and technologies needed to move their companies toward a more sustainable future, energized by the climate goals set last month by the Paris Agreement.
GreenBiz 16 will bring together hundreds of leaders from the world's largest companies, sustainability nonprofits, academic institutions and government agencies. The event is convened by GreenBiz Group, the Sustainability Consortium and the Walton Sustainability Solutions Initiatives, a unit of the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability at Arizona State University.
