<ul><li><strong>People, Planet, and Profits</strong></li><li>Business speaker John Replogle believes that when you run a company with an eye on people and the planet, the profits will follow. As he vividly explains to audiences, embracing sustainable best practices can be a powerful driver of competitive advantage, increased productivity, and bottom line performance. Yes, there are challenges but the potential upside is tremendous. And as global awareness of environmental issues continues to grow, your customers and business partners expect your organization to take the responsible path. Fake it, warns Replogle, and you will face the wrath of the marketplace and speed your way towards certain irrelevancy.</li></ul>
