The Forum
During these challenging times, sustainability is more than ever needed since many of the
challenges facing the countries today are a complex mix of environmental, social and economic
factors.

explore the future of sustainable business, by preparing a unique event for second year in a row.
Prominent speakers from all around the world will take part in this event, revealing fresh
perspectives on sustainability issues, based on the needs of business community and providing
hands-on experience, practical knowledge and professional skills through specialised workshops
and plenary sessions.
The Forum will take place in October 4, 2013, at the ALBA Graduate Business School premises in
