SUSTAINABILITY
LEADERS
2017
No longer a matter of compliance,
sustainability is a strategic imperative as
investors, NGOs, employees and consumers
demand more from organisations.
What does sustainability leadership look
like in an uncertain regulatory climate and
how will that evolve as business leaders take
a critical, long-term view of their growth
strategies?
In a wider context, how can organisations
adopt a leadership stance in line with COP21
commitments and Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) in a way that is material to their
business?
The edie Sustainability Leaders Forum
& Awards bring together more than 600
ambitious professionals moving beyond
environmental objectives to deliver
transformational change and create
value within their organisations.
Join us to connect with new
partners, scale and accelerate
change and mitigate long-term
risk.
