AMR Research extended its executive Peer Forum services into green business practices, with the formal launch of a Sustainability Peer Forum. Recent discussion topics include how sustainable products and services can generate greater revenue, how to take advantage of impending carbon taxes, and how to integrate sustainability approaches throughout the organization.

Each of AMR Research’s six expert-led Peer Forums brings together executives responsible for deriving maximum value from their process and technology investments. The Sustainability Peer Forum brings together a variety of environmental and sustainability industry leaders to share and discuss best practices, lessons learned, and business strategies that support their sustainability efforts.

"In keeping with the global trend toward corporate green initiatives, the Sustainability Peer Forum proves a valuable addition to AMR Research's Peer Forum offerings," says John Davies, AMR Research's vice president of green technology. "In addition to providing executives an opportunity to meet and share experiences with their peers across a number of industries, the content we provide allows companies to take immediate action in driving sustainability efforts throughout their companies."

Launched as an initiative to address the questions, comments, and concerns AMR Research analysts received from their C-level clients about "green" business, the Sustainability Peer Forum has since evolved into a series of summits and discussions where industry leaders meet to discuss an ever-changing roster of important issues.

The Sustainability Peer Forum’s executive summits (high-level strategic and agenda-setting discussions) and team-level discussions are moderated by AMR Research analysts who lend knowledge and advice to help senior executives better understand the opportunities, challenges, and alternatives for implementing sustainability programs in their companies.

"AMR Research's Sustainability Peer Forum lets me have direct dialogue with a peer group of senior executives who have similar responsibilities and are focused on many of the same important environmental and sustainability issues that Dell is addressing," says Tod Arbogast of Dell, Inc.

The Sustainability Peer Forum's upcoming executive summit, to be held in Chicago, Ill. on November 6th, will focus on sustainability metrics, integrating sustainability practices throughout the organization, and embedding sustainability into customer relationships.
