An online community event hosted by Brock University next week aims to start a conversation with Niagara organizations on sustainable business practices.<\/p>\n

Business Matters: Operating in a Changing Climate takes place Tuesday, March 29 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.\u00a0The discussion will feature panelists from different industries and aims to share proactive and practical steps businesses can take.<\/p>\n

This is the seventh in a series of panel talks<\/a> organized by Brock\u2019s Goodman School of Business. The event will be moderated by Todd Green, Associate Professor of Marketing at Goodman.<\/p>\n

Green, who studies corporate social responsibility, says every industry will be impacted by climate change, so it\u2019s important to look at what businesses can do locally to mitigate it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith big issues like this, sometimes people feel that there\u2019s nothing you can do that will make a difference,\u201d Green says. \u201cYet there are expectations from consumers that companies need to address climate change and make commitments to doing better.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be a proactive discussion on how we can positively mitigate the impacts of climate change in Niagara, what steps businesses can take and how they can measure and manage their progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
