========================================================

Following up on the successes from the first conference 2007, Emisoft will this year arrange the Sustainability Now!-Conference for the fourth time.

Today, how to run a business in a sustainable way is worldwide a top priority. Learn more about how to put your focus right and even make it a way to increase your profit.

The conference has become a meeting place for decision makers with a responsibility and concern for environmental and sustainability strategies in their organisations. You will meet other people and professionals with an interest for the same issues, representing private companies, the public sector and academics.

A number of different speakers will share their experiences within their respective fields of competence. The speakers include:



Erik Solheim, Minister of the Environment and International Development, will share with us his thoughts on environmental issues in a global perspective.






Bjørn Kj. Haugland is Senior Vice President and the Chief Operating Officer for Division Sustainability & Innovation in DNV ( Det Norske Veritas), and his presentation is entitled: “Managing Risk, Sustainability and Innovation”.





Today, an increasing number of companies are issuing annual sustainability reports. Such reports are usually prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative’s guidelines (GRI) – which is the leading format for sustainability reporting. At this year’s conference, we’ll have a speaker from the Global Reporting Initiative Organisation in the Netherlands presenting “Guidelines for Sustainability reporting”.


We are proud to announce that the NRK-veteran, Bjørn Hansen, will lead us through the entire conference. The conference will certainly benefit greatly from his knowledge and experience.








As last year, the conference will pre-open with a formal dinner on the evening of Monday 25th, October. During this dinner, Emisoft's Sustainability Now-Prize will be awarded.
