The Sustainable Industries Economic Forum welcomed 300 sustainable business leaders to The St. Regis in in San Francisco on Oct. 20.

Hosted in several West Coast cities throughout the year, the 2012 San Francisco Forum featured Alex Bogusky, chief creative insurgent officer at FearLess Cottage, and Bonnie Nixon, newly anointed executive director of The Sustainability Consortium, as keynote speakers with differing yet complimentary perspectives. This year’s theme,” The Access Economy”, took a closer look at issues such as transparency between brands and consumers.
