Dear GreenBusiness Works EXPO 2008 Attendee,

Welcome to the GreenBusiness Works EXPO 2008! Your at-tendance at this important event is representative of our com-pany’s belief that there are people in communities, nationally and internationally, who want their work to combine good business sense and responsible treatment of our environment. Each day we show that our practices can be a reflection of our values, which is the mission behind the first GreenBusiness Works EXPO.

GreenBusiness Works EXPO 2008 is an environmental event offering innovative instruction and best practices on topics ranging from sustainability programs to products that support environmental stewardship. The programs conducted during this two-day conference are designed to show how “going green” can preserve our environment, as well as provide a dynamic return on investment for businesses and communi-ties. Once you learn how to go green in the breakout sessions, visit our exhibitors on the trade show floor and develop new business relationships with them. Take these new relationships with you to the office and get down to sustainable business.

As with any event or organization, we all have a lot to learn and further to travel. To ensure the EXPO is an eco-conscious event, we have put several plans in place to deliver on our commitment. For this event, the Cobb Galleria Centre worked

(WELCOME LETTER continued)

diligently with us to implement our green meeting require-ments; Atlanta Community Food Bank will be the recipient of our food waste for composting; the badge you are wearing is compostable; Canvas Systems supplied us with laptops for meetings rooms so we could reduce handouts; our electri-cal consumption is being metered for us and the pre-event planning meetings and your data to attend is being compiled. We have contracted with Renewable Choice Energy, a leading provider of renewable energy and carbon offset credits, to calculate our footprint. As a commitment to transparency in our business practices, we will share our environmental impact and our off set totals with you post event.

I would like to thank our lead sponsors, SouthEast LINK, the Home Depot Foundation, Canvas Systems, Broadcast Atlanta and New Fields for their generous support. In addition to the tremendous contributions they have made to this event, they are all shining examples of organizations that “walk the talk” when it comes to sustainable practices.

This EXPO would not have come to fruition without the help of our well-connected advisory council and steering com-mittee. Their advice, council, relationships and indefatigable energy, and creativity have been vital. Generous thanks goes to Sue McCray for her support in the foundational develop-ment of these groups.

We have developed some very special working relationships with organizations that share a common commitment to caring for the environment. These include GA Hotel and Lodg-ing Association, Building Office and Management Associa-tion of Atlanta, German American Chamber of Commerce, Partnership for a Sustainable GA and Southeast Green. These organizations stepped up and promoted the EXPO to their stakeholders, believing in a shared vision for educating and advocating environmental sustainability.

The printing of our program is generously donated by Canter-bury Press and in keeping with our commitment to an eco-conscious event, printed our program on FSC certified paper with eco-friendly ink.

We also have visitors and guests from beyond our borders who are exploring ways to do business with our community. The Atlanta International Trade Mission has joined us for our open-ing day and we welcome them to our city and our event.

How do you thank a team that dug deep, worked tirelessly, sweated the small stuff and laughed when we needed it? I ap-plaud the GreenBusiness Works Expo team which includes KPK & Company, our PR and marketing communication firm; Cathy Llewellyn and VAST Consulting, our web design and interac-tive marketing firm; loaned Southeast LINK executive Jodi Con-solino; all-around Green Girl-Atlanta, Esther Ayers; and Sandra Cummings, programming guru with Southeast Green.

Most of all, I would like to thank you for your attendance. Without your presence, none of this would be possible. We are grateful you are here and appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you. We hope you enjoy learning at the GreenBusi-ness Works Expo 2008 and I personally encourage you to take at least one lesson from this event and implement it. If we all do that, we can change our businesses, our communities and our world for the better.

Sincerely,

StephanieStephanie ArmisteadGeneral Manager

Green Development & ROI: Achieving Positive Results10:00 aM | rOOM 101

The social benefits of green building are generally accepted as good, worthwhile and needed. However, there is a wide range of positions regarding the cost of green buildings which tend to be fuelled by speculation or fear of the unknown rather than concrete data. Like all buildings, some are expensive but most are not. The cost directly associated with green build-ings can be divided into four broad sectors; the green building consultant, the design, the construction and the life of the building. All of these areas have the potential to increase or re-duce project costs thus affecting ROI. This session will focus on these elements and point out how they combine to maximize the ROI for a green building project. Current industry data and local examples will be cited.

Making Green Buildings Healthy (AIA Course Credits - 1 LU HSW)

11:00 aM | rOOM 120

Some greening methods may cause illness for occupants, unless we incorporate human health as an overriding green-ing requirement. Examples include materials that off-gas and building envelopes that allow condensation and mold growth. Greening and health can be combined efficiently in buildings, by using low-pollution interiors, economical ventilation and full air movement control using air barriers.

Saving on IT through e-Waste Minimization & Proper Technology Asset Management


IT manufacturers regularly introduce upgraded versions of their technology, oftentimes a newer and better version each year. The regularity of the IT upgrade process creates constant pressure on IT organizations to replace their existing equip-ment in an effort to stay ahead. The demand on IT organiza-tions to provide access to data is only increasing and users continuously expect their systems to run faster and faster. With these demands piling up, manufacturers are incented to ac-commodate their customers, resulting in excess IT equipment. This process leads to a constant and predictable IT Lifecycle: Purchase – Maintain – Dispose. Not adhering to environ-mentally sound processes surrounding this lifecycle can be detrimental to both the business and the environment.

Alternatives and strategies exist to create huge IT cost savings, while concurrently reducing or eliminating the e-waste impact around the globe.

The focus of Canvas Systems’ panel discussion will be placed on electronic “take-back” trends and business implications, legal considerations and savings, all while staying green.

Investing Green: Drivers in the New Economy

10:00 aM | rOOM 114

There is a growing body of evidence that companies which manage environmental, social, and governance risks most ef-fectively tend to deliver better risk-adjusted financial perfor-mance than their industry peers. Financial markets that are attuned to environmental issues will create permanent and powerful incentives for companies to improve their environ-mental performance, while also ensuring better returns for investors. Emerging growth companies delivering clean-tech products and services represent the next big wave of innova-tion. Clean-tech investing is at an all time high and is expected to flourish in a range of sectors, including renewable and distributed energy, advanced materials, transportation, and water purification and management. Many clean technolo-gies are experiencing double-digit annual growth rates. Savvy investors are realizing the opportunity to capitalize on solutions that serve the needs of industry, government, and society: innovative technologies that compete on price and performance while reducing pollution, waste, and resource use. Come join the drivers of this new economy -- clean-tech investors and companies that are leading the way.

Emory University: Defining the University’s Role in Meeting the Sustainability Challenges of the 21st Century11:00 aM | rOOM 116

Emory University has made a substantial and continuing commitment to sustainability. This commitment has been on three different fronts. First, Emory has committed to reduce its carbon footprint and to become more sustainable as a mem-ber of the community. Efforts along this front have included an unprecedented commitment to LEED certified buildings on the Emory campus, integrating sustainable food practices into the campus food plan, aggressively embracing alternative en-ergy sources in new buildings, and a continuing commitment to Emory’s groundbreaking Recycling Program. The second front, and the oldest, has been efforts to educate our students about the environmental challenges of this modern era. These efforts include incorporating environmental themes into the classroom through the Piedmont Project, planting a garden in the middle of campus, and funding student projects that take an innovative approach to environmental challenges. Finally, the University is committed to working within the Atlanta

A member of a family with longstanding involvement in Atlanta’s history, SCOTT SEYDEL oversees an enterprise he founded in his twenties, offering its products through U.S. and global manufacturers in over three dozen countries. Sustain-ability and environmental stewardship has been a cornerstone of Scott’s business endeavors, influencing his companies’ emphasis on energy and waste minimization, recycling and recyclability.

Scott is the chief executive of several process chemical companies that illustrate his stewardship principles. The Seydel Companies’ Pendergrass (Georgia) plant has repeatedly cap-tured first place in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National WasteWise competition. EvCo Research in Atlanta recycles plastic beverage bottles into water barrier coatings applied to textiles, paper, carpet, and building products. The Chemol Company in Greensboro ( North Carolina) recycles spent vegetable oils from restaurants and fast food fryers and tallow from processing plants to make lubricants, cosmetic emollients, carton coatings, and cutting oils, substituting non-renewable and non-biodegradable paraffin waxes.

Serving as Board Chairman of Global Green, the U.S. arm of former Soviet President Gorbachev’s global sustainability organization headquartered in Geneva (Switzerland), Scott has been involved in guiding the organization’s initiatives in promoting commercial and residential green building projects and renewable resource power generation, water conservation

municipal waste recycling, and the decommissioning of mili-tary bases and weapons of mass destruction.

His interests in municipal waste diversion and recycling have been furthered through his Chairmanship of the Board of the GreenBlue Institute (Charlottesville) and it’s Sustainable Pack- aging Coalition. Scott is currently focusing on Cradle-to-Cradle conversions of solid waste components at their point of origin in an effort to increase downstream spent material values and the attendant cash incentives for collection and recycling. He is pursuing this transformative objective through his member-ship on the Executive Committee of ATLANTA RECYCLES and in a similar project in New York City where he resides.

The Seydel Companies have earned national recognition for their recycling and resource conservation research from The Society of Plastics Engineers, the Association of Plastics Recy-clers, the International Council and several textile associations.

Through strategic partnerships with U.S. and European companies in the beverage, paper, and construction materials industries, EvCo Research has contributed to significant reduc-tions in packaging wastes, energy use, greenhouse gasses, and nonrenewable resources, while stimulating resource Recycling and environmental stewardship.

As a long time civic leader, Scott serves as Chairmen of Georgia State’s Robinson College Board and has Chaired the Boards of the Atlanta YMCA, The Georgia Hi-Tech Alliance, the Georgia World Congress Institute and the Atlanta Chamber’s International Committee during the 1996 Olympic Games. In LOCAL Preparatory education, Scott has served as a Direc-tor for the Brandon Hall School, the Schenck School, the Mt. Vernon Presbyterian School, and as a member of the Board of Visitors of the Darlington School in Rome.

PhILLIP ConSoLInosOuTheasT link

President of SouthEast LINK since 2000, Phillip Consolino entered the janitorial industry 40 years ago when he went to work for his family’s cleaning supply business, which he helped grow to a multimillion-dollar company. After serving as Presi-dent for 13 years, he moved on to run a cleaning equipment consulting enterprise. Phillip’s consultative approach to selling, which adds value to products, has since proved to be strongly compatible with SouthEast LINK’s longtime focus on customer training and service.

In evaluating product and equipment alternatives that would best fulfill customers’ needs, Phillip and his management team recognized that “green cleaning” was quietly evolving. Manu-facturers were introducing options that were not only safer for the environment as well as for janitorial staff, but such prod-ucts cost less, required less energy and water, and improved indoor air quality. Customers could lower operating cost while helping the environment! To make those advantages clear, Phillip championed eco-friendly sales consulting, which led


71

the company to host GreenLink, Atlanta’s first “green cleaning” trade show, in 2007. GreenLink, in turn, launched SouthEast LINK’s involvement with GreenBusiness Works.

As he continues to learn about win-win environmental options as they impact the janitorial industry and building operations, Phillip looks forward to sharing those solutions with decision makers.
