Sustainability and financial connectivity: Bringing it to operational life within an organization

If it is widely known that the planet is heating up, nature is under stress, and forced labour remains an issue within supply chains, why aren’t things changing?

The single biggest lever remains underutilized: businesses. The ecosystem within which we operate includes policy makers, standard setters, regulators, non-government organizations, communities, and so on. Each actor can evoke change, however that change tends to be slower than we’d like it to be. A lever for more immediate and decisive change comes from the businesses themselves – their translation of event to financial impact drives decision-making.

This webinar will show you how to create a more meaningful connection between sustainability topics and financial management. David will cover practical examples and real-world challenges to draw lessons on how to influence organizational decision-making through more impactful communication. The aim is to break the cycle we’re in to accelerate achievement of a healthy biodiverse planet that supports business, people, and nature.
