Sustainability Conference

Jornadas de sostenibilidadA sustainable company is one which works for the benefit of a development model which seeks to successfully manage the balance between economic and social concerns and protecting the environment for the society in which it operates, contributing value. It obtains financial benefits from designing products and services which improve the quality of life of its customers, workers, suppliers and social communities, in general.

This new point of view regarding companies and their relationship with their surroundings in terms of responsibility is now spreading increasingly more throughout the world of large and medium-sized companies. Bta. joins the drive to make this commitment, becoming a gathering place for the sector. Business owners, managers, managing directors and marketing managers will be able to acquire new knowledge and provide their organisations with solutions in this area.


Focusing on sustainability: commitment and business strategy

Sustainability encompasses your business’s activity from process or product design to its final impact in sustainable terms, with the opportunities this implies for both your environment and your company.

Bta. and Hispack, in collaboration with AECOC (Spanish acronym for the Spanish Commercial Coding Association), offer you a fascinating session on 13 May. Find out:

  • How to design a process or a product from start to finish in sustainable terms.
  • Why sustainability is a business strategy and not a dream.
  • About the current state of sustainability in Spain.
  • What best practices we can learn from national and international examples.

Location: Hall CC4, Meeting room 4.3
