The Annual Practice Forum is an invitation-only, hands-on exchange with the vision of creating a better world through better business.
It is one of the only convenings on the topic that brings together the corporate sustainability and investor community to discuss how companies can better track and monetize their sustainability performance and allow the financial community to make better investment decisions. Participants leave with a new understanding of how sustainability returns are driven by innovation, operational efficiency, employee engagement, brand enhancement and risk mitigation.
At the last Practice Forum on March 5, 2020, we gathered on the brink of a global health and economic crisis that is forcing business leaders to rethink the rules of capitalism. In March 2021, we will convene at a critical moment of recovery, driven by a common goal to rebuild a more sustainable, resilient, and just future for all.
