Strategic Boardroom Approaches in a Fragmented World

Tuesday, 16 January, 2024, 15:00-17:30 CET

Faced with our current global crisis, companies in all sectors have a responsibility to boost their positive impact on the environment and society. The urgency is palpable, and addressing these issues requires  a seismic shift in boardroom strategies and operations.

How does a board deal with activists, how does it leverage value chain strategies, anticipate upcoming shifts in regulatory landscapes, and successfully navigate the complexities of science-driven economies? A highlight of this session will be when attendees publicly pledge their positive impact commitments. This will open the door  to collaborative dialogues that can potentially redefine the sustainability paradigm.
