Purpose

Many companies are making strides toward goals for greening their businesses but need to find ways to maintain the momentum now that they have tackled the easiest challenges. Others are about to embark on their sustainability journeys and seek a roadmap and best practices.
​

Increasing regulations, particularly in Europe and the U.S., and demands from investors are pressing businesses to define, monitor and publish their net zero targets and green their practices and products. The IPCC reports that there is a closing window in which global citizens can mobilize to reduce carbon emissions and hope to achieve the target of 2.0 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels needed to stabilize the climate.

​

It is becoming clear that it is up to leaders to transform corporate cultures to meet these inside and outside pressures.

​

The Sustainability Leadership Panel will feature guest speakers Lorna Davis, TED Speaker, Coach and Board Member; Gautam Mukunda, Author, Podcast Host and Senior Advisor, America’s Frontier Fund, Professor at Harvard and Yale; and Michael Ventura, Advisor, Author of Applied Empathy, Entrepreneur and Keynote Speaker. They will share their organizations’ success stories and lessons learned. How did they get reluctant board members and employees on board? What products and processes did they prioritize and how? How did they hold suppliers accountable? What KPIs did they set and how? What worked? And what didn’t? Speakers will discuss their journeys and answer questions.
