Join PR News for the Spring Awards Luncheon on March 22, 2017, from 12 - 2:30 p.m., at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., as we salute the winners and honorable mentions of a distinguished circle of those holding the key to best practices in the CSR arena.
Seth Goldman, TeaEO emeritus and co-founder of Honest Tea, will deliver “Harnessing the Power of Business for Change,” an eye-opening keynote on how he grew his company from a small operation in his house into an international brand acclaimed for its corporate social responsibility initiatives. Goldman will share how to make your brand synonymous with doing good like he has done with Honest Tea, weaving messaging around the company's core values of healthy drinks, sustainability, Fair Trade ingredients and organic farming.
