Green Is the New Color of the Bottom Line

It isn’t easy being Green? Sure it is . . . & smart, too — LD

HARTFORD, Conn. -- "We believe design has enormous power and we are trying to use it to change the world," says Ian Yolles, Vice President of Brand Communications for Nau. "During Good And Green we will be sharing how the balance of beauty, performance and sustainability has driven everything we do as a company -- allowing us to not only generate a profit, but to contribute to positive, lasting and substantive change."

Yolles and other leaders in the fashion industry will show mainstream brands how to balance profitability and sustainability during Good And Green- The Green Marketing Conference, November 29-30, 2007, Chicago Cultural Center. Good And Green is designed to teach mainstream national marketers the techniques, benefits and bottom line impact of connecting with today's ecologically-concerned consumers through green marketing efforts.

Fashion has found success in blending "good-for-the-earth" business practices with state-of-the-art design and feels this way of doing business is key to a brand's current and future success. "We envision the eco movement as more than a trend. Eco has no "look" -- it is simply the way things should be done from now on," states Maria Intscher, Head Designer for Linda Loudermilk.

Good And Green attendees will have multiple opportunities to connect and learn from one another through solution-based workshops, drill-down discussion groups, insightful case studies and great networking events. A complete schedule and list of speakers is available at http://www.goodandgreen.biz.
