Going green in China
The Boao Forum for Asia’s 2010 Annual Conference in April dedicated a special China CEO Roundtable to the topic of "The Profit in Green" as a reflection of the importance of driving sustainability. Deloitte China CEO, Chris Lu, was invited to moderate the discussion. The roundtable was an integral part of this year’s overall BOAO Forum agenda, Green Recovery: Asia’s Realistic Choice for Sustainable Growth.
