What inspired you to get involved in Sustainability LIVE?
I’m deeply inspired by the transformative potential of the energy sector, where I began my career.
Sustainability LIVE offers a great platform to share insights and collaborate with diverse minds, driving forward our collective mission to decarbonise and build a sustainable future.
Provide an overview of what your keynote will focus on.
My keynote will address the current reality for business, highlighting the challenges of the next stage in the decarbonisation journey.
I’ll discuss the importance of re-baselining to accelerate progress, achieving the predictability premium in sustainability reporting and making businesses more investable.
Additionally, I’ll emphasise the role of leadership, hyper-collaboration among C-suite members and the critical importance of trust and effective stakeholder communication.
What do you hope to achieve through the event?
I aim to inspire actionable change and foster a deeper understanding of the critical role that businesses must play in enabling a sustainable world.
By sharing knowledge and engaging in meaningful discussions, I hope to empower attendees to implement effective sustainability practices and drive long-term positive impact.
What emerging trends do you believe will shape the future of sustainability over the next decade?
The next decade will see sustainability becoming business-as-usual, with companies embedding it into their core operations.
Key trends include advancements in green technology, increased focus on ESG performance and the importance of resilience in business strategies to navigate cyclic economic pressures.
