Mal Warwick
(Mal Warwick Associates), entrepreneur, author and promoter of
socially- and environmentally-responsible business, the “Values-Driven
Business” panel will discuss ideas that highlight how values
incorporation are a central component of a business plan. The panel
will feature San Francisco’s own:

CFO, Andrea Freedman, who will discuss how the company’s internal
practices around the collaboration of hip, clean and conscious created
a home products business that has been doubling annually in size and
revenue
- Wild Planet Toys
COO, Jennifer Chapman, who will share innovations such as the “Inventor
Invasion” program, pairing employees with kids from low-income
after-school programs to help children develop their creativity through
toy invention, and
- New Resource Bank
founder and Vice Chairman, Peter Liu, who will discuss how bank
employees are encouraged to “re-purpose” their careers, and how
granting low-interest loans to green builders has garnered this
community bank assets of $60M after just 6 months in operation.
