Breakfast forum for business leaders
Overview
Companies that are integrating sustainability into their core business decision making, marketing and infrastructure are already realising considerable market advantage, brand recognition and consumer support.
Leaders of these smart companies understand that the future is not just economically and environmentally challenging, but that there are significant opportunities to be gained as markets change and expand, consumers evolve and community expectations intensify.
This seminar will provide participants with insights into the major economic shifts taking place in the business world, and case study successful sustainable business models and practices that take sustainability beyond the rhetoric. The three key note speakers, all business leaders from major companies and brands – global and local, and from very different industries and sectors - will highlight the opportunities presented by sustainability. They will elaborate on how opportunities can be identified and engaged with a view to delivering responsible financial outcomes, maximising innovation and meeting consumer expectations.
