Leading ESG and Sustainability
Many businesses understand the importance of prioritising ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and sustainability and have some level of operation in place. However, many are still grappling with the transition to making ESG a core element of their operations, strategy, and culture.
This session will take an integrated approach to developing ESG strategies, which will allow businesses to evaluate their performance effectively, respond to societal needs, and avoid sustainability box-ticking exercises.
