Speaker: Beth Holzman, Manager of CSR Strategy and Reporting, The Timberland Company

Discussion Topic:

In its pursuit of a constantly evolving and improving corporate responsibility profile, Timberland’s team must tackle a number of very real business issues and tough realities.  To help integrate ROI analysis into CSR planning, projecting, and operations, Timberland is reaching out to the Net Impact network for thoughtful analysis, and “voices of challenge.”   You can join a limited group of individuals to review, assess, and help give direction on real-time business and corporate responsibility issues Timberland faces today.

Sign up to be part of a select group of Net Impact members to engage with Beth Holzman, Timberland’s Manager of CSR Strategy & Reporting, in a unique opportunity to be a part of timely corporate responsibility strategy and analysis, and to share your ideas and perspective with a company prepared to integrate ideas and feedback.

According to Holzman, “Timberland believes that how we manage our footprint – that is, our impacts on the planet and its people – is a reflection of our values and core business strategy. We look forward to dialoging with Net Impact members on these topics.”

By signing up for this hour-long conference call discussion, you’ll also have the chance to share your thoughts with CEO Jeff Swartz early in 2010 during a second discussion on Timberland’s CSR work.

Please prepare for this call by joining Timberland's "Voices of Challenge" online dialogue. Here, you can learn more about the key challenges responsible businesses face, pose questions or comments that will be incorporated into Beth's talk, and engage with other CSR practitioners.

You can read more about Timberland’s impacts in their recently released 2007-2008 CSR report at www.earthkeeper.com/csr.
