BEYOND TODAY

Central Europe is a place where innovations and startups arise. It is home to small and medium enterprises as well as corporations. The transformation of business towards sustainability is a crucial topic. In particular, smaller and medium-sized enterprises do not have enough opportunities to share the implementation of sustainable solutions. They need a place where they can mutually exchange experiences.

Beyond Today is a conference that meets such a demand. It will feature presentations from company representatives – no consultants or theorists. Companies from various sectors will present not only what worked on their path to sustainability, but also what did not succeed on their way to a more sustainable future.

FILM BEYOND ZERO

Beyond Zero is a document about the decision of the CEO of Interface to dramatically reduce the company's impact on the environment by 2020. It shows a path that initially met with resistance and distrust but ultimately convinced even skeptics and critics.

The film follows the steps of Ray C. Anderson – from the first idea to the concrete results that changed not only his company. It offers a perspective on sustainability that is the result of enlightened leadership, consistency of values that prevail not only in the business world.
