Tackling the Sustainability Leader’s Evolving Role
Join an off-the-record discussion on the changing role of corporate sustainability leaders. We’ll talk through the new demands and skill sets this position requires and how to build new competencies, get our teams to lean in, and turn leadership into an advocate (instead of a roadblock) as our position evolves.
Stream 2:
ESG Reporting: Preparing Our Teams (and Ourselves!) for What Comes Next
How do we future proof our teams, our scope of responsibilities, and get ahead of the changes happening for ESG reporting and data needs? What can we do now to make sure we’re ready for what the next wave of regulations may demand of our company and our teams? Join a vendor and consultant-free discussion to talk through how we’re preparing and how to accept we’ve done our best in the face of increasing change and uncertainty.
Katya Hantel
VP, Global Head of Environment, Social & Governance (ESG)
Smith + Nephew
Increased regulatory scrutiny around ESG disclosures is good for raising our work’s profile, but few sustainability leaders got into this work to lead a compliance function. How are we shifting our skill sets and expectations to meet the new reality, and what are we doing to bring our work back to the impact function that motivated us in the first place? Join us as we talk about career planning and making the most of a rapidly evolving profession.
Christine Daugherty
Head of Sustainability
Conagra Brands
With the growing demands of mandatory reporting, do we really need to keep all of those voluntary disclosures? Join us for a confidential, vendor-free discussion about what can be cut, what’s still essential, and why we’re hesitating to make those changes. We’ll talk through how we’re deciding what stays and what goes and share practical ideas for lightening the reporting load while staying compliant with evolving requirements.
