Achieving a company’s sustainability target s – whether science-based net zero targets\, living wage accreditation\, o r wider environmental and societal aims – cannot be accomplished by one pe rson or even one team. Sustainability is complex and requires consideratio n of a multitude of factors across the business\, supply chain\, and whole economy. Sustainability professionals are increasingly struggling to keep up with all the demands that the role requires\, including emissions redu ctions\, compliance and reporting\, stakeholder engagement\, innovation\, and much more. However\, sustainability within many companies currently op erates within a silo without active engagement from other relevant functio nal areas in the business.
\n\nFor sustainability to be trul y integrated across the business\, all core functions must be involved in helping the company achieve its sustainability objectives. This m eans that\, at the very least\, those working in key functions should have a fundamental understanding of sustainability and how their role impacts and contributes to company goals. This may include considerations around t he Sustainable Development Goals\, net zero and decarbonisation\, nature a nd biodiversity\, resource use\, just transition\, human rights\, anti-cor ruption\, sustainable supply chains\, and more.
\n\nThis event serie s will provide those working in core business functions with the necessary knowledge and understanding to contribute to their organisation’s sustain ability goals in their day-to-day jobs. The second sesssion will explore h ow legal impacts sustainability\, what in-house legal teams should know to support the integration of sustainability throughout the business\, and w hat the sustainability and legal functions can do to work together towards sustainability goals.
\n\nKey themes this event will cover include:
\n\nSustainab ility professionals are requested to invite a colleague from the legal fun ction and attend alongside them to facilitate discussions on the day. For this reason\, each attendee must register 2 participants. Pleas e note this event is open to UN Global Compact Network UK members only and registration is subject to approval.
