9:25 – 10:30
This conversation between the Sustainability Leaders panel and the Leaders of Industry panel will open with a 5 minute statement from each of the industry panelists on the drivers of change and their relative importance. This will be followed by an articulation of the high-level objectives for big business in relation to environmental sustainability. The session will provide you with the information you need to integrate the impact of climate change into your immediate and long term operational goals, and achieve buy-in across the organisation

The most successful corporations with clear sustainability achievements are those with sustainable objectives at the heart of their executive decision making and a fairly consistent ethos operating company wide. But if your company is not yet in this enviable position, how do you get there? How do you move from being a siloed function with little or no budgetary power to sitting at the heart of your company’s objectives? If you do have that central buy-in how do you spread the agenda more effectively?

• Culture Shift: Achieving cultural change to place sustainability at the heart of executive decision making
• Getting shareholder buy in and empowering both the CEO and sustainability champions
• Determining the impact of the sustainability agenda on key stakeholders
• Strategic Lines: Determining where sustainability should sit with in the company: reporting structure, size of team
