WHY ATTEND?
Sustainability is Business Strategy
This is the reason why the 2nd edition of the SUSTENLANDIA CEO FORUM has a strong focus on bringing evidence of sustainability's financial value.
We’ll be speaking the MONEY LANGUAGE. Connecting the dots. Translating sustainability into outcomes that decision-makers understand.
At a time of profound geopolitical upheaval and rapid economic transformation, businesses face a stark choice: whether to step up to shape the future or be shaped by it.
Discover how sustainability is directly linked with some of the issues that keep business leaders awake at night:
Disruption, Cost savings, Access to capital, Talent attraction & retention, Litigation & Liability, Market Access, Regulatory & Compliance Pressure
Explore the strategic risks & business case of DOING NOTHING.
Discover the opportunities to drive resilience, innovation, and long-term value, because the companies that act today will define the markets of tomorrow.
Find out how the private sector can proactively respond to today’s volatile geopolitical context while advancing sustainability efforts:
avoiding “greenhushing” is key to maintaining trust and competitive advantage.
Learn how to build a strong business case for sustainability today.
Particularly in emerging & transitioning economies like Romania, there is a high pressure to perform economically and often misaligned resources and incentives.
Understand the new rules of the money game:
what investors and financial institutions expect and how leading companies on sustainability are responding, turning compliance into business value.
Get clarity on what sustainability ROI means, capturing long-term financial gains, environmental, and social value.
Learn how to accurately measure it by aligning corporate sustainability team’s language with that of the corporate finance function.
The Forum is where bold minds meet to turn sustainability into strategy.
By connecting finance with impact and fostering meaningful dialogue, it empowers leaders to drive innovation today and create the business landscape of the future.
