22 March I 10:15 – 12:00 I Digital Trade for Sustainability and Climate Action
The latest UN emissions gap reports a brutal truth: our current ambition level to curb GHG emissions is falling short. Add to that the added pressures of managing inflation and navigating geopolitical tensions, and the struggle is real – the sustainability puzzle seems impossible to solve. So how can we turn our ambition into action? This highly interactive workshop with a dynamic lineup of speakers explores the ever-evolving landscape of cutting-edge technologies. You will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions and explore innovative digital approaches to drive sustainable change within your organization by exchanging with the University of St.Gallen and corporate experts like Martina Buchhauser, former CPO of Volvo Cars, on how to turn the sustainability tides. Exchange with our experts, explore corporate best practices, and become a sustainability trailblazer.
