The economic downturn has caused a reshuffling of business priorities as companies trim down and prepare for an economic storm. Eco-initiatives, many argue, have fallen off or dropped to the bottom of CEO agendas. Frost Sullivan research reveals that contrary to conventional wisdom, green initiatives remain a priority - both for short term cost efficiency gains and long term growth. These findings will be presented jointly by Frost Sullivan's North American ICT Consulting Vice President Brian Cotton and European Telecoms Principal Analyst, Sharifah Amirah. Issues discussed will include eco-strategy development, eco-drivers and opportunities as well as regional variances of the eco-inertia. Joining the briefing as a guest speaker is Molly Webb, Corporate Engagement Manager at the Climate Group. She will provide insights into the role of ICT and climate change based on her experience writing the SMART 2020 report published this year.

This briefing will benefit a wide spectrum of vendors and service providers across the various industries that have and are looking to invest in green opportunities as well as those looking to craft their eco-strategies.

A carefully designed eco-strategy will enable companies to gain from significant cost efficiencies available with sustainable technology. Smart leaders recognize this, and ensure that the right investments are in place to address end user demands, promote legislative compliance and attract strong talent. The present economic lull is an opportune time for companies to devise and implement their eco-strategies, notes Sharifah Amirah, Principal Analyst for Frost Sullivan Information Communication Technologies group.
