Drive sustainable business growth while contributing to the SDGs

“Companies that are winning the sustainability battle have created the conditions for their stakeholders to own sustainability.” According to a 2018 Harvard Business Review study, the key to successfully integrating sustainability in the company’s business models is an engaged workforce whereby every employee —from top executives to entry level workers— is personally invested in the day-to-day corporate sustainability efforts and has embraced sustainability as a critical component to business success. While sustainability should be everyone’s responsibility, there are key executives that can strategically steer the organization towards a sustainable future.

Following the GRI ASEAN Regional Hub’s successful Knowledge Series held for five consecutive weeks between 13 January to 10 February 2021, GRI is once again pleased to offer another webinar series to help companies advance their sustainability reporting efforts.

In this Expert Series, GRI shines a spotlight on key organizational executives to discuss their important roles, as well as recent trends and developments in their respective professions that relate to successfully driving their companies towards sustainable business growth while at the same time contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. This bi-monthly webinar series will focus on the key functions of business operations that play a pivotal role in leading and integrating sustainability in organizations.
