CSR to raise profit margin? Sustainability as a competitive advantage

Join this BCG lecture at CBS with Marty Smits, Leader of BCG Sustainability Initiative in Europe, who will present the latest findings from BCG's research in the field of sustainability as a competitive advantage. Based on findings from BCG's work with World Economic Forum combined with data from BCG-MIT Sustainability and Innovation Survey, the lecture will give you insight into how companies improve sustainability mainly to increase profit, and thereby go beyond the 'traditional' view of being sustainable.
 
The Lecture will take place 22 February 2012 at 3:45pm at CBS, SP202 Carlsberg Aud.

Please register your participation via CBS Career Center - registration will close 21 February.

BCG is proud to be sponsoring DANSIC – Danish Social Innovation Club

DANSIC – Danish Social Innovation Club, is a cross-party, student driven, nonprofit organisation whose purpose is to inspire social innovation; to find new visionary solutions for society’s social and environmental challenges. Abroad, social innovation is particularly visible through ideas from social entrepreneurs, socioeconomic companies, and partnerships across the traditional societal sectors.
The main activity is the conference, DANSIC12, which is scheduled for 8 March 2012 in Copenhagen.

DANSIC12 is a conference for 300 motivated and ambitious students studying in Denmark. The conference is arranged by around 60 volunteers and includes two keynotes and more than 50 speakers. DANSIC12 will host panel discussions to inspire and motivate the students to engage in social innovation. Additionally, the conference is built around workshops, where students are invited to cooperate and network around relevant social innovation challenges.

The team behind DANSIC is an ambitious and diverse group of students from universities such as DTU, CBS, KU, RUC and DDS. They work together with the shared mindset: making a difference IS possible.
