The 2020 Sustainable Business Breakfast Briefing

Event Date: 26/03/2020 9:00 am

Welcome to this edie webinar which is being held exclusively for members of the Sustainability Leaders Club and 30 Under 30 initiative. The session takes the form of a live, virtual panel discussion which will explore the key industry trends and developments that will shape sustainable business and the sustainability profession in the 2020s.

Due to the escalating Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, our Sustainability Leaders Club and 30 Under 30 gatherings were not able to take place as live events on Thursday 26th March. But we’re not letting that stop us! The edie team and our Sustainability Leaders Club sponsor Centrica Business Solutions have acted quickly, and we are proud to be delivering a panel discussion in a virtual, webinar-based format.

Armed with edie’s new Playbook for Sustainability Leaders and accompanying Manifesto for Sustainable Business, our panellists will discuss some of the biggest drivers, challenges and opportunities facing the Leaders Club this year – from managing the current impacts of Coronavirus to establishing net-zero targets and accelerating the circular economy transition.
