Sustainable Business & Stakeholder Value

Thursday, November the 14th

Speaker: Margareta Barchan

Consider this workshop a powerful introduction to sustainability in practice or a starting point for a larger mission to expand business opportunities, increase stakeholder value and lead a full-scale transformation.

More stakeholders are demanding that businesses and organizations operate in a sustainable way – with a focus on social, environmental and financial responsibility. And for good reason: it’s the right thing to do. We will use a short and effective hands-on simulation that gives you the opportunity to manage issues around sustainability, and balance them with diverse stakeholder interests. You’ll quickly discover which strategies are most effective when dealing with conflicts that arise between short-term financial realities and long-term goals.  And, you’ll take away best practices from leading companies that have had to deal with successes and failures in the corporate social responsibility arena.
