"The prize for creating a just and sustainable world is even greater than it was 20 years ago."
—Aron Cramer, President and CEO, BSR, October 24, 2012
In his opening remarks at BSR's 20th anniversary Conference, BSR President and CEO Aron Cramer reflected on the past two decades—on how much has changed, and how much more remains to be done to "Fast Forward" sustainability.
Technology has made leaps and bounds forward, and we have made a significant dent in global poverty, but many challenges remain, especially related to global warming, environmental degradation, short-termism in financial markets, increasing consumption patterns, and human rights issues.
At the same time, as Cramer underlined, BSR's vision is even more powerful today, and the networks and partnerships that will make this vision possible are stronger.
Watch the BSR Conference 2012 video highlights to hear Cramer's ideas on the building blocks for a just and sustainable world, as well as more from plenary-level speeches and interviews with speakers and attendees.
