Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science Dean Jeff Brock will host a "fireside chat" with André Hoffmann, vice chair at Roche, a global biotech company, on Thursday, Oct. 31, at 4 p.m., at Tsai CITY, 17 Prospect St.
Hoffmann is a Swiss business leader and environmentalist. He believes in business as a force for good, and advocates for a form of capitalism aimed at generating sustainable and inclusive prosperity. Hoffmann is the author of The New Nature of Business: The Path to Prosperity and Sustainability, in which he presents a template for creating “sustainable prosperity” and case studies of companies that survived and thrived by opting for change.
The entire Yale community is invited to join Dean Brock as he and Hoffmann discuss Roche’s sustainability practices, lessons learned from organizations with visionary leaders, and how we can create an economic system that builds on nature without destroying it.
