Coin Street neighbourhood centre, London | Wednesday 4 February

Registration is now closed, if you are interested in SAS Sustainability Management, please contact Michelle Sandhu.

The current economic crisis has thrust financial sustainability into the forefront of our minds, yet it is increasingly clear that environmental sustainability is just as critical to global commerce and prosperity as our financial markets.

The global expansion of commerce has focused on economic performance, but our environment has often paid a price. The way we consume natural resources threatens our climate, our national security, and the ability of businesses to operate.

  • Why sustainability cannot take a back seat in the current financial crisis
  • What regulatory changes are on the horizon
  • How you can optimise social, environmental and economic performance

Please join us for an executive presentation and panel that challenges you to think about the many ways in which environmental sustainability and financial sustainability are co-dependent.

The agenda for the day is as follows.
