2:45pm Fireside Chat & Roundtable Discussion: Driving Effective Sustainability Throughout the Whole Organisation
The prominence of the sustainability leader is growing as sustainability firmly takes its place at the table. Driven to make a real impact on their carbon footprint, today’s leaders are facing significant challenges as they try to fundamentally change the way that their business approaches processes, policies and culture.
This session will begin with a fireside chat with Johanna Jobin, Global Head of Environment & Sustainability at Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, discussing their sustainability journey, the challenges they're facing and how they're working with consultants to solve them. It will then lead into a roundtable discussion exploring the leadership challenges and obstacles to making organisations culturally receptive, so that they can truly embed sustainability in both internal and external practices, strategy, and decision making in a measurable and meaningful way. Audience members are invited to actively participate and share their own experiences, as well as ask questions.
