Welcome to GreenBiz 2.0!

We've been working long hours behind the scenes to make GreenBiz.com and our sister sites even more useful and information-packed. At last, we're ready to unveil it.

We have redesigned the look and feel of GreenBiz.com and all our sister sites to make it easier for you to navigate and explore. All the same great news and resources are still here, and here is a short overview of all the new additions and changes to the sites.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about the new design, send a note to Carlie Peterson at carlie@greenerworldmedia.com.

Thanks for reading!

  • The past few years have seen a number of high-profile corporate scandals. From Enron in the US, to Livedoor, Kanebo and Chuo Aoyama Audit in Japan. These scandals have resulted in a greater awareness of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Our four speakers, from the international business, financial media and legal communities, will cover key areas in this quickly evolving area. From the CSR policies of one company, to the legal implications of investing or not investing in the CSR movement, this seminar will take a multifaceted look at this new corporate citizenship.
