ESG Summit
ESG Summit Autumn 2024
Moving beyond compliance to become a truly sustainable business
ESG has become a central principle of today’s organisations, an integral business driver that is key to attracting capital, customers, talent and creating value. Having strong and genuine ESG credentials is no longer nice to have but reflects a shift to be considerate and conscious of their impacts on people and the planet.
ESG measures are becoming a vital part of business operations across all sizes. Not all reporting is mandatory as of yet for all Irish businesses. However, with the rapid expansion of sustainability legal obligations and regulations, plus heightened expectations from investors, employees, consumers and society it is vital that all businesses get to grips with ESG reporting now.
The Business Post’s Autumn 2024 ESG Summit, the sixth in our series, will explore how to ensure you have the right skills and resources to successfully embed ESG reporting within existing business processes and operating models. Don’t miss this opportunity to fast-track your journey towards becoming a sustainable, data-driven business.
At our Autumn ESG Summit 2024 on 20th November, we’ll review the latest ESG trends, why they are important and what your company should look out for going into 2025 and beyond. Our event will showcase cutting-edge technologies, share real-world best practices and game-changing strategies to empower attendees to create a reliable, data-driven foundation for achieving ESG goals.
