In recent years, we have seen a growing interest in sustainability and we are witnessing a trend that is emerging rapidly. If in the past, sustainability was rather a differentiating element for companies, now, shaping a sustainability strategy has become a standard, a must have for companies to ensure a sustainable business growth.

We see more and more companies developing and implementing strategies aimed to contributing to the protection of the environment and well-being of communities in which they operate, increasingly ambitious commitments that reflect their commitments to a sustainable, long-term contribution.

During this live webinar, you will learn directly from our members, representing a diversity of industries, how sustainability has become a priority for their businesses, both at global and local level.
