Taking place on Friday 22 September and sponsored by Butterfield, it will be part of the fringe schedule during the week, which itself will focus on sustainability beyond climate for businesses in Guernsey.
The ‘conscious capitalism’ movement seeks to demonstrate that businesses can be a force for good and create positive impacts on society while still being successful and profitable. Ravi Rai, an SME impact adviser, will be guest at the webinar to discuss the rationale of running a business with purpose.
The webinar will also host Estelle Levin-Nally; Founder and CEO at Levin Sources, Jessica Regnard; Corporate Governance Consultant at Aspida Group, and Justin Sykes; Managing Director at Innovest Advisory for a panel session discussion led Ravi Rai.
Sally Rochester (pictured), the IoD’s Sustainability Champion, said: “I’m proud to deliver our fourth Sustainable Finance Week event. This year we want members to consider sustainability beyond climate change and learn more about the various frameworks that exist to support businesses that want to integrate sustainability and purpose into their strategy.
“By talking to local business leaders about their experiences with b corp we want to bring to life the opportunity and challenges of the process. We hope attendees will think about their broader stakeholders rather than just shareholders. Including how they can bring a sustainable purpose to their business’s operations and the benefits that can bring.”
