Garrett Boone, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Container Store and investor in Treehouse is interviewed by Anna Clark of Earth People Media.

EarthPeople, a sustainability communications and consulting firm, announced today its partnership with the University of Dallas College of Business to host a panel discussion covering the ways that global corporations, mid-sized companies, and retailers are profiting from sustainability.

"I am delighted to join the University of Dallas College of Business as a strategic partner in the Business and Society Network," said Anna Clark, president of EarthPeople, LLC. "Because sustainability touches all aspects of business, this network will offer D/FW professionals, entrepreneurs, and students a unique opportunity to leverage multiple perspectives for enhancing their competitive edge. The University of Dallas has more than 50 years of leadership in interdisciplinary learning, so it makes sense for this institution to also lead in the sustainability space."

The panel discussion was the first in a series from the Business and Society Network (BSN), an open forum for building relationships, exchanging best practices and fostering dialogue around issues of corporate social responsibility, sustainability and eco-innovation, and corporate governance. The BSN is the latest in new initiatives coming out of the UD College of Business, soon to become the Satish and Yasmin Gupta College of Business following a $12 million donation for the construction of a new facility.
