Overview
The most familiar symbols of sustainability – solar panels, recycled plastic, electric cars – are insufficient to capture the full scope and pace of change in global business. Facing a world of scarcer resources, constrained capital, and operational risks, businesses require long-range strategy just to keep up. “Business as usual” is blind to unusual risks and powerful new opportunities.
Green business has begun to transform the largest systems in the world – energy, water, food, and transportation. The engines of this change are new sources of capital, new trade routes and partnerships, and constant innovation in business models and finance. The Summit will focus on how the public and private sector are tackling sustainability challenges, rethinking the supply chain of tomorrow, building smarter cities, managing stress around global water usage, and innovating transportation. The Bloomberg Businessweek Global Green Summit will show how creativity at the core of the modern world is reinventing best practices in ways that benefit companies, consumers, and society.
What needs to be true for business to sustain itself indefinitely? Join Bloomberg in Singapore as it explores global green business today.

| 1:50 pm | WELCOME BACK REMARKS Assaad RAZZOUK, Group Chief Executive, Sindicatum Sustainable Resources |
| 1:55 pm | THE NEXUS: PROVIDING FOOD, FINDING WATER Agriculture accounts for 70% of global water use, and is a contributor to water pollution. Industrialization and urbanization are raising water stress levels around the world. In the face of rapid urbanization and population and economic growth, the city-state of Singapore is rising to meet its own water challenges. How are governments working towards water security, self sufficiency, and sustainability? What is the future of agriculture and of our existing water systems? New technologies for water extraction and purification are essential, but are they sufficient to meet the needs of another two billion people in the next 40 years? Speakers: Asit K. BISWAS, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore; Founder, Third World Centre for Water Management CHEW Men Leong, Chief Executive Officer, Public Utility Board (PUB), Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Government of Singapore Interviewed by: Norman PEARLSTINE, Chairman, Bloomberg Businessweek; Chief Content Officer, Bloomberg L.P. |
| 2:30 pm | TRADE AND TRADE-OFFS: THE SUPPLY CHAIN OF TOMORROW Global companies today enjoy the benefits of global supply chains, at the same time that they encounter vulnerability in diversity and experience impairments to business due to international trade law cases. What does the supply chain of tomorrow look like? Do trade wars push against manufacturers so that "all clean energy is local"? Or do advances in 3-D printing and supply chain optimization create a world where "designed in California, assembled in China" is no longer the default setting? Speakers: Kevin BENNETT, Director, Sustainable Supply Chain Centre, Asia Pacific (SSCCAP) Aida GREENBURY, Managing Director, Sustainability and Stakeholder Relations, Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) Darrel WEBBER, Secretary General, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Interviewed by: Nathaniel BULLARD, Director of Content, Bloomberg New Energy Finance |
| 3:10 pm | MOBILITY: TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSFORMATION What is the future of transportation? Is the energy for the world's transportation fleet grown (via biofuels) or is it stored (in batteries and electric vehicles)? Looking beyond the electric car, what innovations are underway in aviation, rail, and shipping? And how do countries build sustainable infrastructure to support another billion people entering the global middle class? Speakers: Dean DRAPER, Managing Director, ASEAN Sub-region, BASF South East Asia Pte Ltd Thomas Riber KNUDSEN, Chief Executive, Asia Pacific Region, Maersk Line Emani KUMAR, Executive Director, International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) - South Asia Interviewed by: Tamara HENDERSON, Economist, Bloomberg L.P. |
| 3:45 pm | 2 x 7: TWO THINKERS & SEVEN MINUTES ON SUSTAINABILITY'S NEW IDEAS Two leading thinkers on sustainability from very different sectors of global business each have seven minutes to tell of one idea and its future impacts on global green business. Speakers: Calvin QUEK, Head of Sustainable Finance Program, Greenpeace Sheila SRI PRAKASH, Founder and Chief Architect, Shilpa Architects Planners Designers Pvt Ltd. |
| 4:00 pm | THE LAST WORD: MAKING SUSTAINABILITY SUSTAINABLE For a long time, green businesses traded in ideas. Today, we’ve seen something much more powerful: Deployment. Phase one of sustainability is complete. In phase two, we need to harness the early successes we’ve seen today and bring them to scale. What message does a greener, sustainable business world most need to convey? Is “going green” the smart business choice, or the only choice? How much can going green potentially contribute to the triple bottom line? Does sustainability divide the business community? How are corporations deploying their sustainability strategy to address energy usage, land development, and natural resource conservation? Does sustainability come to dictate international business through its current leaders? Do today’s most sustainable companies disrupt the system and create something new? Speakers: Peter LACY, Managing Director, Sustainability Services, Asia Pacific Region, Accenture Dorjee SUN, Chief Executive Officer, Carbon Conservation Monica SUN, President of Henkel Singapore and Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand; Vice President of Adhesive Technologies, Southeast Asia, Henkel YEOH Keat Chuan, Managing Director, Economic Development Board (EDB Interviewed by: Eric ROSTON, Sustainability Editor, Bloomberg.com |

Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)
In response to the urgent and pressing global call for sustainably produced palm oil, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was formed in 2004 with the objective of promoting the growth and use of sustainable oil palm products through credible global standards and engagement of stakeholders. The seat of the association is in Zurich, Switzerland, while the secretariat is currently based in Kuala Lumpur with a satellite office in Jakarta.
RSPO is a not-for-profit association that unites stakeholders from seven sectors of the palm oil industry – oil palm producers, palm oil processors or traders, consumer goods manufacturers, retailers, banks and investors, environmental or nature conservation NGOs and social or developmental NGOs – to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil.
Such multi-stakeholder representation is mirrored in the governance structure of RSPO such that seats in the Executive Board and project level Working Groups are fairly allocated to each sector. In this way, RSPO lives out the philosophy of the “roundtable” by giving equal rights to each stakeholder group to bring group-specific agendas to the roundtable, facilitating traditionally adversarial stakeholders and business competitors to work together towards a common objective and making decisions by consensus.
