What we discuss
  • A process corporates can follow to address their most important sustainability issues rather than merely chasing the latest trending issue.
  • Should companies announce sustainability targets?
  • How do you engage all the different stakeholders in the company to ensure you create lasting change, rather than a policy that everyone quickly forgets about?
  • How profit and purpose can go together even when that purpose has a financial cost.
  • Pressure from customers and investors and how corporates can engage in wider societal and political discussions about sustainability.
