Engineering Sustainable Operational Processes
Presenter: Dave Gustashaw, Interface, Inc.

In this session you will be introduced to what it truly means to be
sustainable. As Dave Gustashaw will explain, sustainable operations aren't
what most people think. By explaining Interface's journey, you will learn to
look at sustainability through a different lens and how it's not simply about
compliance. In fact, if you address sustainability as Interface has,
compliance takes a backseat as a "non-issue."

People in a Green Organization
Presenter: Jeff Harvey, President and CEO of Burgerville

One of the largest barriers to Lean is often people and corporate culture.
It's no different when your company moves on the road to Green and
sustainability. Hear from Jeff Harvey, President and CEO of Burgerville how
they address the people and culture side of their business.

FROM BURGERVILLE'S WEBSITE...
Central to the heart of the company, Burgerville people are at the center of
what allows our company to live its values to their fullest extent. Without
strong, vibrant, healthy people, there can be no healthy families or healthy
community. At Burgerville, we believe in developing people throughout our
organization. Leading and thriving in the midst of change calls for alert,
reflective and creative people-people who are flexible in the face of change
and who bring their spirit and imagination to bear on the problems and issues
at hand. By growing their leadership abilities, employees learn how to
powerfully manage change and serve with love not matter the circumstances they
encounter. Leadership at this level contributes innovation and creates
sustainable impact, which grows our business and serves our community.

8:00 am-9:30am
Performance Measurement
Presenters: Panel of Measurement Experts

How do you measure whether you are truly sustainable or not? What is your true
impact on nature? Unfortunately, there's a proliferation of different set of
metrics, so how do you make sense of what metrics make sense for your
organization.

In this session you will learn how to define metrics for green and
sustainability, so a company can measure its progress and understand what are
the important few things to measure (and not the trivial many).

Discuss how these metrics integrate (or don't integrate) with traditional
financial metrics.

Understand the conflicts with finance and directive management that come with
dedication to lean and sustainability.
