We hosted an illuminating seminar at our office last week about a subject of profound importance not only to all businesses and entrepreneurs, but also to every member of the public: sustainability and climate change. It was the second in our series of seminars, ‘Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet and Profit.’
Watch our event highlights video below.
The discussion focussed on the title ‘Green Horizons – navigating towards a sustainable future.’ Our impressive line-up of panellists was as follows:
- Pilita Clark, Associate Editor and Business Columnist at the Financial Times
- Dustin Benton, Policy Director, Green Alliance
- Beena Sharma, CEO and Co-Founder of CCU International
- Matthew Owen, Director at Cool Earth.
The overriding message of the discussion is that we need to work together to address climate change: policymakers, the media, NGOs and businesses. The UK is committed to reaching net zero by 2050 – meaning that the total greenhouse gas emissions would equal the emissions removed from the atmosphere – this will require a collective effort.
