GLOBAL SUMMIT
IN PERSON AND VIA WEB
Sustainability Global Summit 2024: Be relevant (with networking lunch)

Sustainability is undoubtedly among the most discussed topics today, and every company is seeking its course of action, either to pursue its own purpose or, more simply, to respond to market demands and regulatory bodies. However, the real challenge lies in understanding how to truly be relevant, while standing out from the background noise.

From defining a distinctive purpose, and setting particularly ambitious goals, to implementing revolutionary technologies or business models, there seem to be many paths to distinguish oneself in the field of sustainability.

But what can companies do to be relevant? And what are the best strategies to truly stand out in sustainability?

At this Summit, participants will have the opportunity to delve into these topics with global executives, as well as world-renowned experts and academics, to explore how companies can chart a course that not only leaves a positive footprint on the planet but also allows them to enhance and differentiate themselves from competitors.
