An Introduction to Sustainability for Your Business with Gillian McKee

Sustainability and environmental responsibility are increasingly critical for businesses as regulatory and commercial pressures continue to grow. To remain ahead of the curve, businesses must be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to adapt effectively.

We are thrilled to present an introductory information session, "Why in the World Does Sustainability Matter?", designed to demystify key sustainability concepts and empower businesses to start or strengthen their journey towards a greener future.

This insightful session will be delivered by Gillian McKee, Managing Director of Giraffe Consulting. With over 20 years of experience in sustainability and ESG, Gillian has worked across various sectors, providing expertise in strategic development, training and reporting.

The session will provide an overview of the global megatrends that influence how we live and work today and what they mean for your business when it comes to sustainability and ESG.

Topics covered:

• Megatrends - Europe, China, America and the elephant in the room

• Global response – SDGs

• Sustainability/ESG focus for companies

• Business drivers and the cost of inaction

• Demystifying net zero

• Risk vs opportunity

• What does it mean for you?
