SpeakersHub Webinar on Climate Change
Find out more about the Wavelength SpeakersHub Showcase 2021 event.
On September 22nd 2021, just weeks before COP26 we hosted a fantastic webinar that brought together three pioneering and highly regarded sustainability practitioners, Hilary Berg, Tessa Clarke and Kresse Wesling to discuss the impacts of Climate Change and what business need to do NOW to take action and why.
It was a sobering, well-informed and passionate discussion which covered themes such as:
-
Who is responsible for solving climate change and what does this mean for business leaders?
-
Is it already too late and if not what can leaders do to make a bigger difference?
-
Is stakeholder capitalism the answer or can shareholder capitalism deliver what this planet needs?
-
What are the risks and rewards of brand activism?
-
What is B Corp and what role can B Corp certification play in helping drive lasting change?
-
How should responsible leaders make decisions?
-
Can responsible organisations compete with companies which “don’t give a damn”?
