Description :

All over the world, corporations are gradually moving beyond the single minded focus on financial gains. Gaining traction is the notion of Ecosperity, encompassing the ecological and socio-economic factors that lie at the foundation of sustainable growth and prosperity. Considering an organisation’s social and cultural environment and applying sustainable practices translates effectively into better business, improved corporate reputation and enhanced stakeholder engagement.

Yet, achieving this is no easy feat. The Ecosperity Young Leaders Dialogue will discuss how corporations can uphold sustainable practices when faced with the capriciousness of our fragile economies. This session will address pertinent issues, challenges and dilemmas faced by companies and aims to shed light on vital aspects of corporate sustainability.
