When local conservation group Forest Ethics found out that Limited Brands, owner of Victoria Secret, were using paper made from old growth forests to print their 365 million catalogues, they saw red. This led to an effective and revolutionary anti-brand campaign that included full page ads of chainsaw-wielding Victoria Secret models, causing the $10 billion dollar company to rethink its practices. 

Tzeporah Berman, Program Director and Co-Founder of Forest Ethics, will detail how a small non-profit got a global giant to go green.  A leader in a number of key BC campaigns including the Great Bear Rainforest, Clayoquot and a number of market campaigns aimed at Staples and Sears, Tzeporah will share Forest Ethics’s Corporate Action Strategy so you’ll know the tools to get big business to change.
