Friday, April 8, 1pm ET - Skoll World Forum: Inclusive Economic Prosperity for All- An Integrated Stakeholder Approach ([link removed])

American Sustainable Business Council is pleased to be hosting a virtual Skoll World Forum Ecosystem Day event. There is a massive need for investment in overlooked, under-resourced, and underestimated communities across the United States. The good news is that there are a growing number of communities taking ownership of their economies. There are more local developments and enterprises emerging that are helping to build more just, inclusive, and sustainable communities and economies. Learn about investable examples throughout the U.S. that are deploying capital, real estate, policy, design, and climate solutions to uplift their communities from within. This conversation amongst Valerie Red-Horse Mohl (East Bay Community Foundation), Carmen Huertas-Noble (1 Worker 1 Vote), Damien Goodmon (Downtown Crenshaw), Clay Colombe (Rosebud Sioux Economy Development Corporation), and April De Simone (Trahan Architects) will cover compelling case-studies and the necessary public policy solutions
required to implement this work on a broader scale.

The 2022 Skoll World Forum is free and open to all. REGISTER ([link removed]) for the larger forum by April 4th.

Monday, May 2, 1pm ET - How Business Leaders Drive Change- Leading the Way on ‘Circularity’ from Within ([link removed])

How do business leaders drive change from within toward greater ‘circularity’ in corporate practices? What strategies do they use to transform their companies along the production- and life-cycles of their products and services – from design, sourcing, manufacturing and sales to use, reuse, recycling, and/or end-of-life?

Join Jennifer Gootman, Vice President, Sustainability: Social & Environmental Impact, Williams-Sonoma, Inc in conversation with Tensie Whelan, Director, NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business. These experienced leaders will unpack various approaches to driving circularity, sharing lessons learned on their companies’ journeys to a more sustainable future.

Wednesday, May 4, 1pm ET - Public Policy & ‘Circularity’ - Business Can Move the Needle ([link removed])

How can companies support and inform critical public policy to advance the transition to a circular economy? Using examples from the furniture and home-cleaning products industries, we’ll explore opportunities for involvement by companies of all sectors, sizes and levels of policy engagement. Join us to learn more about circular economy policy in the US and how businesses can play an essential role in policymaking and advocacy for circularity. With momentum building on key policies – including extended producer responsibility, plastics bans, toxics legislation, and right to repair, along with new federal climate and infrastructure investment – this is an important time for the business sector to lead the change.

Panelists include Gat Caperton, President/CEO of Gat Creek; Jeffrey Hollender, CEO & Co-Founder of ASBN and Co-Founder & former CEO of Seventh Generation; and Stephanie Erwin, Director of Circular Economy Policy, ASBN. Moderated by Robin Wilson, author, designer, real estate developer, and expert in clean design.
