Capturing the knowledge at the intersection of money and meaning
We have taken some modest first steps to build a knowledge base to test the power of interacting elements of the Triple Bottom Line. Much original research by private think-tanks and on university campuses is contributing to parts of this quest. But we feel that the work of investors, entrepreneurs, community members and government officials also contains practical, experience-based information that must be included in our collective wisdom.
We have been working to record the information arising out of several conferences for the past two years, including Social Capital Markets and Berkeley Energy and Resource Collaborative conferences. We encourage students to use our template, a standard summary format familiar to readers of academic journals, and to submit summaries from conferences devoted to sustainability in any field, for possible posting on our website.
We were also fortunate to summarize sessions of the Spring 2011 gatherings of the BERC Cleantech conference.
