The green economy is here and business leaders who capitalize on it will build the most successful businesses. They'll expand markets, reduce impacts, cut costs, and earn customer and employee loyalty in dramatic ways.

On October 27, 2010, you are invited to the launch of GreenLeapBusiness.com, a valuable online community that features the latest ideas, discussions and networking opportunities related to sustainable business and the green economy. The GreenLeap community also features a guided program to help business achieve sustainability success.

The GreenLeap business community will build up over the course of a year leading to a signature event on October 27, 2011 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.   The business content and activities from the event are then transferred back to the online community,  which lives and continues to thrive.

Led by a team of green business experts, GreenLeap helps companies gain the sustainable advantage needed to compete in today's changing marketplace.

Join the launch of this new business solution and hear business leaders discuss a range of topics from how to kickstart your sustainable business planning, to their own successes and challenges in green business.   Group registration is available as well,  so you are welcome to add your key colleagues to the registration form.

Panelists will include:

• Peter ter Weeme, Principal, Junxion Strategy, Chair of GreenLeap Advisory Board
• Naomi Wittes-Reichstein,  Editor-In-Chief,  Business in Vancouver 
• Tom Dielschneider, VP Supply Chain, The BC Bearing Group
