And so it is no wonder that companies, large and small across all industries, are launching and supporting employee green teams to add arms and legs to green and responsibility goals. But, as this webinar underscores, green teams and social innovation do not just sprout and blossom without coordination, recognition, communications and a basket full of other good practices.

Whether you are just thinking about launching an employee green team, or you would like to ratchet yours up to the next level, learn the latest strategies from our three experts with a wealth of what works, and what doesn’t.

What You Will Learn:

  • Building and communicating the business case for green teams 
  • How to grow green  teams without dampening the grass-roots passion that they started with
  • Big picture overview of some best practices from other leading companies, including Bloomberg, EMC, Ingersol Rand and Genentech
  • How to create unique recognition and training programs (specific to your corporate culture)
  • How to connect green teams to customers and communities
  • What are some pitfalls to watch out for?
  • How should you measure success?
