SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS LEADERSHIP FORUM
Portfolio Success for the Global Citizen:
The impact of sustainability on portfolios and corporations
Sustainability: "Meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." [Bruntland 1987]
As awareness of environmental, social, and governance factors increases, investors increasingly want portfolios that don't conflict with their values. This session will discuss how money and values can be combined, and explore the interplay between companies and investors when the theme is sustainability. What are companies doing to be sustainable? What do investors want companies to be doing? How can investors evaluate the sustainability of companies? How much of an impact does sustainability investing have on companies? Join Richard Stone, CEO of Private Ocean , as he leads a panel discussion to answer these questions and offer guidance to investors interested in investing more deliberately.

Criterion Ventures and Hanson Bridgett LLP present the 2009-2010 San Francisco Structure Lab Series, an easy-to-engage, day-long process that helps social ventures take advantage of innovations in capital formation, revenue streams, corporate forms, and independent regulation to promote and protect values and mission.

With support from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, Criterion designed Structure Lab to provide you with these empowering new tools. Together we'll explore the range of legal structures available for your venture, whether it's still on the drawing board or poised for growth. Come create the optimal legal structure for your social venture to thrive.
Values-led entrepreneurs and existing organizations are seeking social, environmental, and financial returns. New corporate forms have been developed to meet that demand for innovation, blurring the boundaries between for-profits and non-profits. There are a myriad of legal structures that are available now to social entrepreneurs in their quest for maximum impact, ease and sustainability of their ventures. LLC, L3C, venture funds, PRIs, joint ventures, trustmarks, stewardship councils, covenants—these are among the tools that fuel and protect your values and mission—if you know how to use them and integrate them into your legal structure.
