“The Sarasota Chamber of Commerce wants to show business managers the best case examples of companies that have grown and benefited from proactively implementing sustainable best practices,” said Michael Carlson, chair of GBLC.
Paul Dickinson, Chief Executive, Carbon Disclosure Project, says in his interview “Climate change is like the Internet for business – it arrives one day, it gets bigger every year, it never goes away, and you have to learn to make money from it, or you’re going to get eaten for lunch.”
