Your sustainability strategy and policy direction have been set. Now what? Organizations often find that after the long process of building and adopting a sustainability policy or strategy, there is a stall. Sure, implementing and embedding sustainability into the business and day-to-day operational decisions is hard work, but that’s not the only thing holding up changes. Often, the environmental or sustainability plan becomes siloed within the organization, leading to delays, disorganization, and functional leaders that don’t always understand the plan's relevance. So how can you ensure your sustainability strategy isn’t shelved before it even begins? Join us for the 60-minute webinar as Coro Strandberg, CSR and sustainability strategist, along with Carmen Turner, Sustainability Leader at Teck Resources and Geoff Pegg, Sustainability Director at TELUS, provide you with valuable strategies to achieve the sustainability goals your company has set for itself. Coro will explain how to integrate sustainability into corporate culture and governance, and offer relevant, usable insights on how you can mobilize and engage your organization to embrace a sustainability ethic. The result? Significant financial and social benefits, as well as increased employee engagement.
