Amsterdam Global Conference on Sustainability and Transparency

Rethink, Rebuild, Report

Given the current state of affairs, the stakes are much higher at the 2010 conference. The theme of the conference is therefore: Rethink. Rebuild. Report.

• Rethink: the fundamentals of our resource consumption

• Rebuild: our economy to meet the challenges of the future

• Report: sustainability reporting as a tool for change

Making future reality

Thought leaders from business, finance, government and civil society will debate the political, strategic and practical choices confronting everyone. Expert practitioners will lead workshops and interactive sessions to define the building blocks of more effective reporting.

Amsterdam, a green capital

As one of the “greenest” cities in the world, Amsterdam is the perfect place to host the 2010 Global Conference on Sustainability and Transparency. Amsterdam has announced that by mid-2015, all new construction in the city must be energy neutral. It is partly for this reason that the city has been nominated for the prestigious title of Green Capital of Europe in 2010. The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area is also developing itself as a sustainable transportation hub. The City of Amsterdam actively supports electric transportation and a more sustainable port, for example.

Global Reporting Initiative

The conference is an initiative by Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), a network-based organisation that has pioneered the development of the world’s most widely-used sustainability reporting framework and is committed to its continuous improvement and application worldwide.

It is still possible to attend the GRI Conference. Those who are interested may register and read more information about the conference at GRI Conference.
