NEW YORK--Presidential Nominee Barack Obama's top environment advisor Howard Learner and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's own "smartest guy on the environment," Terry Tamminen, will both be featured as Keynotes at the SustainPro Conference October 29-30 in Chicago, billed as the largest-ever corporate sustainability event in North America.
The man behind world-class innovations such as California's HOV lane for hybrid vehicles and the Hydrogen Highway and author of "Lives per Gallon: The True Cost of our Oil Addiction," former California Environmental Protection Agency head Terry Tamminen will be featured on October 29. Tamminen's boss, Governor Schwarzenegger, has often endorsed Tamminen's critical role in setting energy-guzzling California on the three paths of conservation, regulation and use of renewable energy sources.
On October 30, Howard Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center and Barack Obama's top environmental advisor will be featured. Learner, who headed the Northwestern University Law School, aligned himself early with the former law professor and junior Senator from Chicago who has since become the Democratic Party's Nominee for President. As head of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, Learner has been one of America’s strongest voices for using the law to encourage sustainability initiatives.
Additional keynote speakers include legendary corporate sustainability leader Ray Anderson, Chairman and Founder of industrial flooring pioneer Interface Inc. The inventor of the carpet square, Anderson will tell how Interface has re-defined its manufacturing process based on sustainable cradle-to-cradle design and transformed industrial flooring from a product to a service. Also, Khloro Capital Management CEO and former SAP sustainability and compliance software leader Amit Chatterjee will give attendees an exclusive preview of corporate operations-level sustainability innovations on the horizon.
