John Davies of AMR Research to Host "Going Green" Strategy Webcast
How to Identify Sustainability Strategies That Deliver: Plucking Low-hanging Fruit Green Initiatives
(CSRwire) PETALUMA, CA - March 24, 2008 - HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc., provider of
the market-leading WeatherTRAK smart water management solution, today
announced that John Davies, vice president, Sustainability Peer Forum, AMR
Research, and HydroPoint President and CEO Chris Spain will co-host a
webcast on Thursday, April 17, 2008 entitled, "How to Identify
Sustainability Strategies That Deliver: Plucking Low-hanging Fruit Green
Initiatives."
The webcast will address a pressing matter facing today's business
leaders. In light of rapidly dwindling natural resources and the threat of
global warming, a growing number of executives seeks to "go green" to meet
sustainability and cost-saving objectives. But frequently deluged with
information about available solutions for achieving sustainable resource
management, these executives are challenged to select strategies that can
garner environmental and financial benefits within a one-to-two-year
period.
Mr. Davies will explore a rapidly emergent sustainability strategy
employed by executives at Coca-Cola, Google and other leading companies:
smart water management. They've identified smart water management as a
particularly appealing conservation strategy because it leverages existing
technology infrastructure and delivers a powerful "green multiplier effect"
- saving both water and energy, reducing carbon emissions and protecting
local ecosystems. Further, these executives have discovered that the
advantages to smart water management extend well beyond reduced water
bills to lower operating costs and liability avoidance.
"It's essential that business leaders identify and implement low-risk,
quick-win green programs to avoid skepticism about the validity and
feasibility of going green," said Mr. Davies. He explained, "That's
because sustainability practices will enjoy mainstream adoption only when
they are proven to fulfill their promises."
