Speaker Profile
 Stuart Hart is one of the world's top authorities on the implications of sustainable development and environmentalism for business strategy. He is currently the Samuel C. Johnson Chair of Sustainable Global Enterprise and Professor of Management at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management.
He currently does a wide range consulting work with numerous organisations and companies that include DuPont, Hewlett Packard, Procter and Gamble, Shell and many more.
Stuart has written over 50 papers and authored or edited five books. His very influential article, "Beyond Greening: Strategies for a Sustainable World," won the McKinsey Award for Best Article in the Harvard Business Review in 1997 and helped launch the movement for corporate sustainability. Along with C.K. Prahalad, Hart co-authored the path-breaking article "The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid," which articulated for the first time how businesses could profit while serving the needs of the world's 4 billion poor within the developing world.
More recently, Stuart authored the book Capitalism at the Crossroads - a practical manifesto for business in the twenty-first century, which provides a succinct framework for business leaders to harmonize concerns for the planet with wealth creation and unambiguously demonstrates the connection between the two. The book represents a turning point in the debate about the emerging role and responsibility of business in society.
