MAIN STAGE SESSION 1

Resilient Futures: The Business Case for Sustainability in a Challenging Global Climate 

In a world marked by economic pressures and increasingly polarizing political debates, the strides we’ve made in equity, diversity, and social sustainability are under threat.  

Is there really a business case for social sustainability, and how is this connected to the current global climate? If the case is not clear, how do we ensure that it remains a key priority? Join world leaders, top business executives, and changemakers to explore the relationship between social sustainability and good business. In this session, we’ll delve into hard facts, challenge the current narrative, and share important experiences and reflections.  

​

Among the impressive lineup of speakers, Alex Edmans will be delivering a keynote titled: "The Power of Sustainable Business" - Sustainability now seems to have as many detractors as it has advocates, with concerns that it is a distraction from business and at the expense of financial returns. Is there a trade-off between sustainability and profit, or is it possible for companies to achieve both? This talk will critically examine the case for sustainable business, using rigorous evidence and real-life examples to show what works – and, importantly, what doesn’t. It will discuss practical ways for companies to put sustainability in practice, harnessing its benefits while avoiding its pitfalls.

​

Meet speakers such as Erna Solberg, Katherine D. Dudtschak, Helene Banner and many more.

In this engaging keynote, Dr. Giannoumis brings humor and storytelling to the forefront of leadership and inclusion.
