Sustainability

Synopsis:

Concerns around building sustainable businesses around the world continues to mount. Black swan and Grey Rhino events introduce additional levels of complexity into the risk and resiliency assessments businesses are doing today. With the mounting annual global warning conditions, severe and unpredictable climate disruptions and the growing water and natural resources stress induced by the growth of the industry, we have to consider stepping up our journey towards reducing our emissions and intensifying efforts around circularity.

The session on Sustainability will focus on highlighting what are some of our vulnerabilities; what resources already exist that can be readily implemented and what are some of the unsolved challenges critical for us to innovate on. This session will also be a call to action for those that have not joined forces in this journey as yet.
