In this session you will be introduced to what it truly means to be sustainable. As Dave Gustashaw will explain, sustainable operations aren't what most people think. By explaining Interface's journey, you will learn to look at sustainability through a different lens and how it's not simply about compliance. In fact, if you address sustainability as Interface has, compliance takes a backseat as a "non-issue."

World Cafe and the Technology of Participation 2:15pm-2:30pm Break 2:30pm-4:00pm People in a Green Organization Presenter: Jeff Harvey, President and CEO of Burgerville One of the largest barriers to Lean is often people and corporate culture. It's no different when your company moves on the road to Green and sustainability. Hear from Jeff Harvey, President and CEO of Burgerville how they address the people and culture side of their business. FROM BURGERVILLE'S WEBSITE... Central to the heart of the company, Burgerville people are at the center of what allows our company to live its values to their fullest extent. Without strong, vibrant, healthy people, there can be no healthy families or healthy community. At Burgerville, we believe in developing people throughout our organization. Leading and thriving in the midst of change calls for alert, reflective and creative people-people who are flexible in the face of change and who bring their spirit and imagination to bear on the problems and issues at hand. By growing their leadership abilities, employees learn how to powerfully manage change and serve with love not matter the circumstances they encounter. Leadership at this level contributes innovation and creates sustainable impact, which grows our business and serves our community. World Cafe and the Technology of Participation Friday, July 18th 8:00 am-9:30am Performance Measurement Presenters: Panel of Measurement Experts How do you measure whether you are truly sustainable or not? What is your true impact on nature? Unfortunately, there's a proliferation of different set of metrics, so how do you make sense of what metrics make sense for your organization. In this session you will learn how to define metrics for green and sustainability, so a company can measure its progress and understand what are the important few things to measure (and not the trivial many). Discuss how these metrics integrate (or don't integrate) with traditional financial metrics. Understand the conflicts with finance and directive management that come with dedication to lean and sustainability.
