HIP Web Seminar: Green Real Estate (including LEED)
Tuesday, September 2
Commercial and residential buildings in the U.S. account for more than 70% of total electricity consumption — and 36% of related Greenhouse Gas emissions. Fortunately, “green” building is emerging swiftly as a critical strategy to reducing the energy, water, carbon emissions and associated costs of this high-impact industry.

How is it possible to realize 40% reductions in energy, water and emissions for almost no additional construction costs? Which projects have the fastest payback? Who are the developers, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and investment funds leading the way in green construction and retrofitting? How are they innovating for Human Impact + Profit?

Join this HIP seminar on Green Real Estate – and learn how to HIP your residence and workplace AND to HIP your portfolio with real estate leaders on the path to sustainable, profitable growth.

Sustainable or ‘green’ apparel represents $3 billion of annual sales, a still small portion of the overall $450 billion global apparel market. Due to a convergence of global trends and consumer attitudes, however, the sector is poised for substantial growth through 2008 and beyond.

In addition to emerging designers and small-scale producers, major players are jumping on the green apparel bandwagon. From mass market retailers like Wal-Mart, the world’s largest purchaser of organic cotton fiber, and JCPenney, to specialty leaders from GAP/Banana Republic to Patagonia, the race for market share is accelerating.

Who are the designers, manufacturers, and corporations leading the way in sustainable apparel? What practices and technologies are they bringing to bear? How are they innovating for Human Impact + Profit (HIP)?

• Scott Leonard, CEO of Indigenous Designs (http://www.indigenousdesigns.com/), based in Santa Rosa, Calif., sells fair trade and organic apparel and accessories.  From raw material farming to artisan work around the world, come hear Scott describe what a HIP company in this industry looks like.

Join HIP Investor’s rapidly growing Investor Roundtable Series and learn the answers to these questions and more as we explore some of the most HIP public and private companies in the apparel industry. Through speakers and discussion, the Roundtable will address how companies simultaneously solve customer needs, benefit the environment, and make money for investors.
