Sustainable Business: Capitalizing on Opportunities

Half-Day Symposium of Global, National and Regional Ideas

November 20, 2008
7:30 am - 1:30 pm
Westin Hotel, Downtown Pittsburgh

Duquesne University's Beard Center for Leadership in Ethics and Donahue Graduate School of Business present the second annual symposium in support of our continued focus on sustainability and emphasis on ethical leadership in business.

Last year's symposium, Sustainable Business: Beyond the Bottom Line, brought together almost 200 business and non-profit leaders to share and generate ideas about socially and environmentally responsible business practices to impact our region and the global community. This year's program will continue the discussion, offering attendees a foundation for building the business case for sustainability within their organization. We should ask ourselves, how can the costs and risks of meeting social goals be factored into capital investment and allocation decision?

The Donahue Graduate School of Business received top honors in 2007 for its efforts in sustainability. The school was ranked 8th on the Aspen Institute's Global Top 100 list for leadership and integrating social and environmental issues into our Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. In addition to integration sustainable thinking across the curriculum, we offer a 12-month MBA in Sustainability. Dr. Alan Miciak, dean of the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business, recently added to the school's honors by being named to the list of the 100 Most Influential People in Finance by Treasury and Risk Management magazine.
