Hanson Bridgett Sustainable Business Forum: Every month we hold a forum featuring industry luminaries to provide attendees the opportunity to learn and connect with like-minded business people who can help you advance your venture. The feedback has been tremendous and attendance has grown each month. Click here for information about upcoming and past forums.

Presidio School Management Executive Certificate Program: It is essential that our next generation of leaders is steeped in sustainable management practices. To that end, we have sponsored an Executive Certificate Program in Sustainable Management at the Presidio School of Management. Designed for senior-level managers and executives, this ten-month program teaches the practical business skills necessary to direct the course of a company, community or country in ways that restore and enhance all forms of resources—human, natural and financial. The program will launch in July 2008. Click here for more info.

B Corporation Founding Member: We became a Founding B Corporation because it fits squarely with who we are and aspire to be. We place the highest value on the interests of our clients, our employees, the communities in which we work and live, and the environment. As a B Corporation we obtain access to tools and resources that allow us to evaluate and improve our performance as a sustainable business.
