The Swiss Chamber of Commerce have the pleasure to invite you to a business lunch on the topic Innovation – Future of Sustainability.
Companies increasingly recognize the importance of aligning sustainability strategies with business practices and priorities. However, many leaders are still uncertain about how to translate good intentions to tangible actions.
Furthermore, recent disruptions to the international economy, whether prompted by the global pandemic or war, have served to heighten uncertainty to the international business environment. The increased prospect of more lasting uncertainty and more regular disruption casts a shadow over businesses´ commitment to sustainability, as companies weigh rising pressure on the bottom line against the ambition of broadening sustainability strategies.
However, surveys indicate that businesses continue to strengthen their sustainability efforts despite the higher risks of disruption and uncertainty. This reflects the fact that sustainability is becoming increasingly integrated in business operations and represents a path not only for cost savings via greater energy and resource efficiency but also a way to drive environmental standards compliance and address changing consumer and business partner demand. Sustainability is becoming a means to align savings in business operations with ethical responsibilities to protect the environment.
Take this exclusive opportunity to take part in the discussion with specially invited guests, company executives and other members.
