At this moment in time we face a unique opportunity to transform our economic system from one of short-term gains and too-high risks to one where long-term prosperity and corporate social responsibility go hand-in-hand.

As countries continue to negotiate a global deal on climate following the Copenhagen Accord, the U.S. continues to work toward adopting comprehensive national climate and energy policies. While we wait for these milestones to bring us closer to a cleaner, greener, more sustainable way of doing business, corporations and investors alike are exploring solutions and seizing opportunities  that will help us prosper in a low-carbon economy.

For 20 years, Ceres has brought together companies, investors, environmentalists and other stakeholders to integrate sustainable solutions into business strategy and build long-term shareholder value. At the Ceres Conference 2010: Roadmap for a Sustainable Future, we will again bring these partners together to examine and define the key issues and solutions for achieving a sustainable future.

Join us in Boston as we bring together corporate directors, CEOs, environmental and labor leaders, investors, and corporate governance experts to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
