Turn sustainability ambition into action
IN-PERSON EVENT
Dinner Location: Institute of Culinary Education
How are you defining and tracking your ESG/sustainability goals?
The need for sustainability in business has never been higher, investors, consumers, employees, and governments are demanding more transparent action. 80% of CEOs expect sustainability investments to improve business results within the next 5 years. Simultaneously, today’s top three business risks are relating to the environment. Technology plays an integral role in accelerating the journey to net zero by creating more accurate and refined operational processes while reducing unnecessary waste, driving better sustainability and business outcomes.
To thrive in a sustainable world, leaders must define ESG/sustainability goals, establish clear baseline, and operationalize sustainability goals. And while we navigate the right ingredients to build a sustainable ecosystem, we’ll be guided by the master chefs at the Institute of Culinary Education and create our own eco-friendly meal.
Join us as we discuss the role technology plays in sustainable operations, supply chain, ESG reporting and how to turn your sustainability ambition into action.
We hope to see you in, New York!
