Shaping Leaders for a Sustainable Future
Join us for the QUIN Institute inaugural sustainable business conference event. This one-day sustainable business conference will bring together stakeholders from business, science and governance together through an exciting program of topical talks delivered by global experts across three themed conference sessions:
1. Navigating the green energy transition
2. Corporate sustainability, green economy and ESG integration
3. Adapting to a changing climate and its impacts.
Following the day program, delegates can enjoy a networking evening with Conference Gala Dinner.
On the Agenda:
- A changing climate and its impact – What to expect next? Setting the scene: what trends, patterns and uncertainty will we see more of?
- Impact on industry: Financial risks to mitigate and opportunities to realize. What are the impacts on industry today and what is still to come? What actions (and opportunities) are leading companies seizing compared to the ones lagging behind?
- Adapting to a new reality. How can science support sustainable business? How can science be better at informing industry and industry better in adopting science in operations? Is there a missing link and what can we do about it.
- Technology frontiers. Are companies capturing the lowest hanging fruits? Or are too many options a hinderance? What are the most interesting new arenas under development and how can technology best be adapted in industry to reduce emissions?
- A global perspective on risk and opportunities for business
