Filed in archive Special Events on July 31, 2009

Gary Hirshberg, President and CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm and David Walker, Director of Environmental Sustainability, PepsiCo International Inc. will give keynote addresses at the "Greening the Supply Chain" conference at the Embassy Suites Boston at Logan Airport in Boston, MA on September 17, 2009.

According to a Market Wire release, participating speakers and representative companies include: Richard Goode, Head of Climate Change Programs at Alcatel-Lucent; Dave Crowley, Senior Director EHS for HP Hood; Robert Klimko, Director of Marketing at Orbis, a key supplier to PepsiCo; and Glen West, the General Manager of Green Solutions at Celestica. Sessions focusing on research in the supply chain and carbon management arena from the CDP Supply Chain Project, World Resource Institute and Pure Strategies will provide further insight to attendees on best practices for carbon disclosure.

In the current market climate, where large corporations are requiring more carbon disclosure from their suppliers, the conference will provide ways to drive competitive differentiation with individual products and supply chain capability. The event will also offer insight on trends in sustainability, energy efficiency and carbon management for businesses along the supply chain for both high-tech and consumer products.

Hirshberg's book "Stirring It Up: How to Make Money and Save the World" will be given to conference attendees, along with other product samples from participating companies. The event also features a vendor fair that highlights solutions in the carbon management space.

If you are into sustainability and green stuff, I think this is a Must-Go conference. For more information you can go here.
