How can environmental performance be improved while driving down costs? What is the role of public/private/NGO partnerships? How to reconcile fair trade and profits? What does Kyoto mean for business? These are just some of the questions that will be explored in the five sessions of the Tremblant Forum.
"Companies in Quebec and across Canada are realizing that the way in which they assume responsibility for governance, environmental respect and community relations has a direct influence on their reputation and, ultimately, on their value and long-term viability," said Daniel Audet, managing partner of NATIONAL Public Relations' Montreal office, which is organizing the event in association with several other partners, including EnCana, BCE, the BDC and the National Bank.
For the first time in Quebec, social-responsibility professionals from large corporations will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with representatives of organizations that evaluate their performance (ethical investment funds, regulatory agencies, environmental groups, etc.), in a forum that is open to the general public.
Those interested in participating in the Tremblant Forum may register by telephone at (514) 843-7171 or on the Web at www.tremblantforum.org Registration also includes a luncheon with an address by a keynote speaker, a cocktail reception and return transportation from Montreal.
