Judy moderated an ACS Chemical Entrepreneurship Series Webinar on July 19, 2012 titled "Fireside Chat – How Green Is Your Company…and How Do You Tell Your Story?" Dr. Robert Peoples of the American Chemical Soceity Green Chemistry Institute, and Dr. Karen Buechler of ALD NanoSolutions, were the webinar panelists. Watch the recorded webinar for more on:
- What “green” really means for your business…and not just from a “white washing” or “marketing” perspective!
- Does “being green” have to be an outward and “in your face” part of your value proposition. Or is it COST and PERFORMANCE that really resonates with customers…not “GREEN”!
- Does where you play in the value chain matter in “being green”? Or IS IT MARKET DEPENDENT?
