| Program Synopsis |
Unless you’ve been asleep for the past year, you're probably aware of the intense global focus on sustainability. For everything from renewable energy to global warming, sustainability is the theme of the day. But is it just a buzz word that will be gone next year, replaced with something new? Or should we really take notice?
This presentation will help to define and explain sustainability, including why it's important to the world, to business, and to the product safety engineer.
