Investing in sustainable product lines to drive innovation

Introduction to the three lunches cycle:
The awareness of the environmental challenges and social questions that our economic system is arising becomes a main concern for more and more managers. How to balance greater corporate sustainability and the reality of the business growth? Numbers of companies are changing the path and express their willingness to run business in a way that is compatible with the future of humanity. Some are basing their whole ecosystem on this principle. How can marketing supports these efforts without being perceived as doing « greenwashing »?

During our 3 next lunches, the BMMA will feature 3 speakers of 3 reknowned brands which global model is based on sustainability. They will talk about the successes, the opportunities and the pitfalls that companies choosing this trajectory are facing in their management and marketing efforts.
