Global tensions are disrupting businesses across the globe with many corporations reevaluating their sustainability agendas. While the EU is considering toning down sustainability reporting directives (with reduced scope in CSRD and CSDDD and the Omnibus package) and the US is repealing large swaths of the Inflation Reduction Act, China is racing forward with its energy transition investments linked to decarbonization, and consumers continue to pressure large corporations to go green. How can firms reconcile these contradictory trajectories and simultaneously meet the sustainability demands of different stakeholders including consumers, regulators, and investors?
The Objective of Season 3 of the INSEAD Business Sustainability Webinars is to enable and inspire discussions on Business Sustainability in Turbulent Times. After exploring in Season 1 ‘How to align business and sustainability demands’ (in favorable times) and Season 2 ‘ Frontier Technologies for Accelerating Business Sustainability’, Season 3 is addressing the challenges of executives on how to make sustainability a business objective and a profit opportunity in a world of global tensions and sustainability backlash.
The first webinar is on 'Sustainability In Turbulent Times: Regional Changes and Opportunities.’ It will be held on December 10, 6-7pm CET and features the following distinguished speakers from around the globe:
- Kristin Skogen Lund, Chairwoman of the INSEAD board
- Aron Cramer, CEO of BSR
- Pierre-Martin Huet, SVP Sustainability Michelin
- Tomoaki Ichida, Managing Executive Officer, Responsible for The Americas Area, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.; President, MOL (Americas) Holdings, Inc.; CEO, MOL Switch LLC
