Sustainability Management

Please join SustainAbility for a webinar discussion on the emerging impacts of COVID-19 on sustainable development and the role of business.

In conversation with our expert panelists, this webinar will explore:

• Perception shifts as to the role and value of experts, science, government and business in foreseeing and addressing systemic challenges
• Analysis of how transparency, disclosure, collaboration and values might evolve in response to the pandemic
• Reflections on the ways companies are meeting the moment and the ways societal expectations of the private sector are changing.

This webinar will feature: Aron Cramer, President and CEO, BSR; Chris Coulter, CEO, GlobeScan; Clarissa Lins, Founding Partner, Catavento; and Solitaire Townsend, Co-Founder, Futerra. The discussion will be facilitated by Mark Lee, Executive Director, SustainAbility and Partner, ERM.

The panelists are all experiencing the present in the ways you are—feeling shocked, overwhelmed, challenged, anxious and more. This webinar won't provide answers—we just aren't there yet—but we do look forward to engaging all of you and helping spur discussion and reflection on how the sustainability community can respond to circumstances without precedent in most of our experience. We are learning to navigate the rapidly changing landscape in real time, and we are as eager to hear your thinking as we are to convene this discussion.
