Sustainability reporting, sustainable finance, business and human rights – where are we now in Europe and globally on these three major issues?
In this special 100th edition of Frankly Speaking, Richard Howitt was joined by Rachel Davis, Vice President and Co-Founder of the Shift Project, Wim Bartels, Senior Sustainability Partner for Europe at Deloitte and Filip Gregor, Head of Responsible Companies Section at Frank Bold.
Together they debated what’s in store in this next phase of corporate sustainability in Europe and discussed what change they are each bringing to the sustainability world in their work. You’ll also hear about:
