Wilton, CT—September 11, 2008

Framework:CR, a leading sustainability consultancy, is hosting a one-day forum to examine the challenges inherent in transparency around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

Attendance will be limited to 50 participants.

The forum will include expert-led conversation sessions, case study analyses, and panel and roundtable discussions that focus on

- establishing the strategic value of ESG issues,

- determining an appropriate level of disclosure,

- engaging with socially responsible investors and activist shareholders, and

- facilitating dialogue with both internal and external stakeholders.

A distinguished roster of speakers will help frame issues and provide insight garnered through real-life experience.
