Greening the Newsroom to build resilience in times of turbulence and disruption
08:00 – 08:45
Note: This session is for the accredited media of Building Bridges 2025 only. Interested journalists can contact media@buildingbridges.org for accreditation.
This session is targeted at media and communication professionals who have a good understanding of sustainability, ESG and reporting requirements and are interested in enhancing their impact and leadership in this area.
The panel discussion aims to demonstrate the business case for embedding sustainability within media organisations. It will delve into the practical challenges and opportunities to do this, and what would it take to make news organisations investible for impact investors.
The objective is for participants to understand the societal and business imperatives for media to prioritize sustainability even and perhaps more than ever in times of disruption, crisis and pushbacks. They will learn from practitioners how they might build on their approach and develop a strong strategic approach to sustainability, also by drawing on best practices from other sectors. They will gain deeper insights on the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to effectively navigate and lead in this complex landscape.
