Building on the widespread success of the inaugural Forest Leadership Forum in 2002, Metafore will take the next step May 3-6, 2006 in Portland, Oregon by convening action-oriented global leaders in business, environment and society to help them align business practices in ways that achieve environmental, social and financial results. 

Forest: a metaphor for sustainability
When you stop to think about it, every business is in the forest business. To operate, all businesses depend on healthy forests for paper, wood, water, air and a regulated climate.

Metafore's Forest Leadership Forum 2006 is the place to craft a strategy for making a positive impact on the future of all forests, while sustaining a lasting supply of resources, reducing business risks and increasing shareholder value. 
Leadership: ahead of trends
There is a new social and environmental dynamic emerging in business: An “intelligent marketplace” where buyers and suppliers of products are becoming more educated on how their operations impact the world around them.
 
Companies taking a leadership position in the area of environmental and social commitment are the ones building brand value by bridging gaps between the needs of society and the needs of their customers.
