(Jane) Carter Ingram from Ernst & Young will talk about the intersection of science and business – what works, what doesn’t and how the two can work together effectively to advance sustainability. Carter brings unique perspectives and experiences to talk about these issues. Wendy Tate from Supply Chain Management and I, coming from the natural science side, will coordinate a discussion with Carter to explore these issues as part of the session. Carter’s talk will be on Friday 10/23 from 3.30-4.30. Full details below and in the attached poster. Please share with others who might be interested.
