Topic Presentation:

Sustainability for international markets and real life examples

Description of Subject:

Becoming sustainable for international markets

Increasingly local businesses, especially those that operate in an international environment are faced with actions about sustainability and climate. It’s either their suppliers, customers, or brand owners that expect them to be more sustainable. For example, according to Booking.com, in 2023 more than 70% of global travelers plan to take a holiday that is ‘sustainable’. Investors are also increasingly looking for sustainable companies in which to invest. What do they mean?  What are some of the ways to be sustainable?  How are local businesses adapting? Can sustainability be exported? Members of BPM Business Platform for Sustainability will explain in a panel what actions their companies have taken to comply with international expectations and trends.

Speakers:
