Listen in to a conversation about:
“It's time to wake up: the financial and corporate risks of continued unsustainability, of climate change, biodiversity loss, human rights violations, lack of decent work, tax evasion - all of these also directly impact the company. A company can carry on as if the world doesn't matter for some time. But these risks will materialize. And that means that any board and senior executive management that wants to do its job properly must align the way the business is run with the larger interests of society.”
