Attendees lauded the presenters’ expansive knowledge in corporate sustainability.  As important, if not more, they emphasized the value of learning about each other’s challenges and best practices. Key points of discussion in this year’s training were SROI, changes in EU legislations and standards, importance of ESG and ESG framework, effective communication of sustainability matters within the organization & CSRD legislation.

Sustainability requires a system wide approach, and one never knows who from the training might represent a stakeholder whose perspective is invaluable.  Entrepreneurs learn from Finance who learn from key sectors about their pain points and what is each other’s criteria for due diligence.

With the focus on business, networking is a key feature.  Attendees with different backgrounds interacted and exchanged thoughts and challenges from their industries.  This the kind of networking which evolves from the numerous group and individual interactions.
