One Planet Budgeting: Making Sustainability Real with the Ecological
Footprint
Are we running out of planet? Was Thomas Malthus wrong? Do economies
self-correct or self-destruct when they operate as if resources were
limitless? The Ecological Footprint explores these questions, and
provides the tools to answer them. Global Footprint Network Executive
Director Mathis Wackernagel will showcase applications from around the
world, showing how government agencies, NGOs, businesses, and cities
are making use of this tool to address issues of sustainability.
Wackernagel will discuss the way, just as financial accounting tracks
economic health, measures like the Footprint can help us manage our
ecological balance sheet and develop policies that protect rather than
deplete our natural capital.
Making Sustainability Real in a Business Environment
Your business recycles, has switched to renewable energy and compact
fluorescents--now what? How do businesses incorporate sustainability
practices that engage their employees, customers, clients, and
stakeholders in a meaningful and proactive way? Several case studies
of businesses that have used ClimatePartner's processes will be
examined to show that sound sustainability practices are not only good
for the planet, but good for business, too. Speaker : Anne Vick,
Managing Director of ClimatePartner California

«« Healthcare : Removing Reimbursement Barriers & Improving Access »»
Today’s healthcare environment is moving rapidly toward greater costs
control, making it more and more challenging to bring new therapies to
market. Even the most promising pharmaceutical products or medical
devices are costly to launch and market, due to the high pricing
models used to maximize return on investment and fund future
discoveries. At the same time, payers’ reimbursement policies have
grown more stringent, creating hurdles for manufacturers,
distributors, and specialty pharmacies, as well as providers and
patients. Our speakers will share their experience on the
reimbursement environment, issues and latest trends as well as help us
better understand how to build value through innovative access &
reimbursement strategies and services. With :
- Susanne Machacz, Senior Director, XCenda
- Vikrant Karnik, VP LS Capgemini
- Bruce Quinn, MD, PhD, Senior Health Policy Specialist, Foley Hoag LLP
In partnership with the French-American Chamber of Commerce FACCSF
