Making the most of ESG, sustainability and the purpose movement
The market has never been so hot for conversations about purpose, sustainability and ESG. On one level, that’s brilliant: it could herald in a new age of sustainable business and accelerate our transition to a cleaner, more just, more equitable world (and help companies innovate and transform, along the way).
On another level, it runs the very real risk of going the way that many similar conversations have gone before: more marketing and PR hype than action.
The truth is, you cannot PR your way out of a problem you behaved yourself into. If we want to get real value both as a business and as a society out of sustainability, ESG and corporate purpose, we have to turn words into action and intent into impact.
As Dominic Thurbon, ESG and behaviour-change keynote speaker emphasises, organisations succeed only when purpose is embedded into behaviours, systems, and leadership — not slogans.
In this dynamic and engaging session, we will:
- look at the value and the drivers of ‘purpose’ in business, and how you bring it to life for both customers and staff
- demistify what ESG and sustainability mean for you and your team
- examine mega-trends that drive both the risks and opportunities of ESG
- unpack the oft-misunderstood link between ESG, sustainability and corporate ‘purpose’
- develop practical, usable strategies that can help you leverage the ESG agenda to drive greater sustainability and improved performance
“Dom delivers the perfect blend of practicality and provocation. He knows how to energise an audience, and how to push and challenge their thinking so they leave not only inspired but also behaving in new ways.”
- Mathew Nelson, Chief Sustainability Officer, EY
“I’ve spoken in over 40 countries at over 1000 conferences and I’ve just seen Dom. He did the most outstanding summary I’ve ever seen. Phenomenal. I’ve never come across anyone who’s done it as well.”
- Paul McGee, Global bestselling author, "S.U.M.O"
