The Summit will examine best practice and insights into the future direction of green business as well as exploring the megatrends shaping the sustainability agenda.

Sustainability has rapidly evolved from the periphery of business concerns now newly graduated as the imperative element steering business success. The Opportunity Green Summit will examine how this fundamental shift is transforming the business idea of value moving beyond the profit balance sheets to incorporate nonfinancial metrics. Opportunity Green will detail how a variety of societal factors have converged to create consumers, whether  green or mainstream who don't simply want green products, rather solutions to everyday  problems that also make sense for our community and environment.

The Opportunity Green Summit will outline that in order to effectively capitalise on sustainable business practices and the new market opportunities, it is increasingly apparent businesses require an authentic and transparent sustainability strategy assimilated into all elements of the core business.



Additionally, Opportunity Green will analyse the emerging  development in sustainability management; the transition to greater integrated reporting, evaluating supply chain credentials and  scrutinise the intensifying regulatory obligations.  Companies that are the swiftest to adapt and provide the solutions to these challenges will reap the greatest rewards.

It is estimated that the global market for environmental products and services currently runs to about $1,370 billion (US) with a projected $2,740 billion (US) by 2020.

You will hear from Leaders across diverse industries, undertaking these challenges within their own companies, as well as presentations from the topmost experts in sustainability management. Opportunity Green will examine best practice and insights into the future direction of green business as well as exploring the megatrends shaping the sustainability agenda.
