Sustainability LIVE: Stellar speaker line-up for ESG event

By Kate Birch
Global sustainability leaders from APAC and beyond gather in London for Sustainability LIVE, organised by BizClik Media Group, publishers of Business Chief

With the recent COP26 Climate Change conference in Glasgow leaving many observers cold and wondering how on earth we can stop the rampant advancement of temperature rises, the business world is stepping up to make meaningful change.

Of course, there is more to a sustainable future and a sustainable business than climate change, although that is the existential challenge. Business leaders also need to address environmental, social and corporate governance concerns, such as diversity, equality and inclusion.

All of these burning business topics, and more, will be addressed by business leaders and influencers at the inaugural Sustainability LIVE event, being held in London on 23-24 February 2022 and also available online.

The two-day event will be broadcast live via a fully interactive virtual platform and feature more than 60 speakers taking the multiple stages at the historic Tobacco Dock venue.

Speakers confirmed for the event include:
