Leading Sustainability from the Boardroom

Boards play a central role in enabling and accelerating the SDG economy. To support them, B Lab Switzerland and InTent  have launched the SBA2030 (Swiss Boards for Agenda 2030): an alliance of board members placing the SDGs at the heart of their strategy. Join this session to explore with us: 

1. The enhancement of the board’s fiduciary duties;

2. The SDGs as a framework for boards to mitigate risks, and unlock opportunities;

3. The optimal board structure and tools (i.e. ESG committees, ESG roles, translating SDGs into business KPIs, incentives, expertise and SDG reporting…) to help align companies to the 2030 Agenda.
