Delivering on the Bottom Line:
Corporate Governance and Social Needs Workshop

WORKSHOP CHAIR: Steve Wolff, former President of Power Production at Dayton Power & Light; AHC Group Senior Associate.

Six years ago, during the peak of the Enron and WorldCom crisis, Steve Percy — former CEO of BP America — initiated our large corporate benchmarking workshop on Corporate Governance and Innovation. We are now renaming this for the next three years under the chairmanship of Steve Wolff with inputs from our member companies.

Steve Wolff, a longtime affiliate member with DP&L, is now taking over as the Chair of this ongoing workshop. Here we blend the needs of top operating people with the themes of all our workshops. The goal is to add key messages and strategic and growth lessons regarding profit and loss to the themes of Site Remediation, Risk Reduction, Emerging Issues and Shareholder Value — our ongoing themes.

We do this because our members find that reducing the firm's risk premium, and positioning for future growth, go hand in hand. See www.ahcgroup.com (the "Money Matters" sections) for background and history.

the AHC Group Founder,

Shareholder Value and Money Matters Workshop

WORKSHOP CHAIR: Russ Thornton, Director, Climate Change Services North America at DNV

Seven years ago Hewson Baltzell, the President of Innovest, began our 100-company benchmarking series on Shareholder Value. Our central mission is to examine instances of corporate leadership and stock valuation methods that explore how improvements in energy, environmental, and product performance relate to the stock value or shareholder price of a firm. Two years ago, when DNV joined as an AHC affiliate, we expanded our exploration of Money Matters to include this lasting question: How does a firm's financial risks and stock valuations relate to a firm's path of growth?

Introduction by Dave Harvey

Russ will speak to the group on "Wall Street/Capitalism and Climate Risk." Russ will depict the huge swing in ferocity of interest on these topics and how this will affect industry. How is Wall Street reacting and preparing for legislative change and increased shareholder proposals? Russ will focus on some actual, first-hand examples of how large investment firms and major corporations are responding to "critical climate change issues" by developing and implementing many-sided business-driven actions, including establishing and verifying their carbon footprint, acquiring assets, and forming strategic partnerships.

AHC Group has established an ongoing affiliation with DNV, and so Helena and Russ are workshop chairs through the year 2009 in this area. In this ongoing workshop we ask: What best links financial risk and stock valuation with a firm's path of growth?
