Webinar 18 - An SDG Action Plan for your business: Where do we begin?

Organized and hosted by Sector Group Environment

19^th April 2021, 16.00-17.30 p.m.

What is it about?
The current global health and environmental crisis encourages us to seek new business models compatible with the maintenance of ecosystems that are the basis of the economy and social well-being. This need is explicitly addressed in the new legislative and financial frameworks such as the Green Deal, the EU Taxonomy or the ESG investment criteria.

In this sense, sustainability has become the main competitiveness criteria. In this new context of business development, companies are forced not only to adapt to regulations but also to show their ability to be profitable not only from an economic point of view, but to create a shared value with Planet and people. Hence, the sustainable transformation of the business fabric is an urgent matter.

The Enterprise Europe Network aims at accelerating this transition by providing high quality information on sustainability to the companies they serve. To this end, they have asked Creando Redes to participate in a brokerage conference with an intervention that helps companies start on the path of sustainability.

We propose a 60 minutes long workshop with the following contents:

1. Why is sustainability important for business?

• Environmental trends affecting business
• Legal trends (with special interest in SDGs)
• Economic trends
• Social trends

2. How to include sustainability in your company?

• SDGs Global Compact methodology

3. Your SDG Action Plan Step by step
