(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) Boston, MA (September 14, 2009) – Insight Forums, LLC today announced that it has launched a “Keen for Green” program of registration discounts and charitable donations to reinforce the need for environmental stewardship in producing shareholder communications. Executives using the special “green” web link to register for its upcoming Shareholder Communications Symposium will receive 25% off their registration fee and will trigger a $25 donation to the Carbon Disclosure Project.

“Keen for Green” benefits also may be obtained by telephone by calling 800-886-2196 x3 and mentioning the phrase “Keen for Green” in the registration request.

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is an independent not-for-profit organization that holds the largest database of corporate climate change information in the world. Its mission is to collect and distribute high-quality information that motivates investors, corporations, and governments to take action to prevent dangerous climate change.

“We wanted to do something even more tangible than offering a forum to discuss today’s environmental issues,” said Steve Weissman, Program Director and Senior Analyst at Insight Forums. “Rewarding people with a discount for their active interest and contributing directly to CDP are two ways we can lend some meaningful and immediate support.”
