Of the world's 100 largest economies, more than half are now corporations—not nations. But to sustain these economies in a changing world, innovative and sustainable thinking must become automatic.

At the third event in our series on innovation, swissnex San Francisco welcomes you to take part in an evening conversation on how individuals as well as big business can ingrain sustainable ideas and actions into their plans for the future.

Moderator Judah Schiller, of Saatchi & Saatchi S, leads the discussion, which includes first-hand accounts from Nestle’s Hilary Green and Safeway’s Christy Consler on what their Fortune 500s are doing to encourage and reward sustainability. Steve Newcomb, CEO of Virgance, explains for-profit activism, and frog design creative director, Nick de la Mare, details one of his company’s social innovation efforts, Project Masiluleke, an HIV-fighting program in South Africa that uses mobile technology as a bridge to treatment.
