Companies are operating in an increasingly complex geopolitical and business environment, requiring simultaneous action across climate, nature and social priorities. This has increased interest in more integrated approaches that better connect these issues, identify synergies and trade-offs, and embed sustainability into strategy, governance and core business processes. For many organizations, advancing an integrated sustainability agenda is becoming critical to resilience, competitiveness and long-term value creation.

This Learning Day brings together senior practitioners to explore what this means in practice. The program is designed as a practical, peer-based learning experience that focuses on implementation, surfacing challenges, sharing approaches, and identifying concrete ways to move towards action. 

The program builds on a similar workshop WBCSD organized in Bangkok, which brought together professionals across sectors and geographies to explore practical approaches to integration. You can read a recap, here.
 
What to expect: 

Through a combination of expert framing, peer exchange, and hands-on exercises, participants will explore ways to better connect climate, nature, and social priorities by identifying synergies, trade-offs and dependencies, and develop ideas for implementation in their own contexts. 

The Learning Day is hosted at the Laudato Si’ Center for Higher Education, offering a unique setting for learning and reflection, including a guided visit to its gardens.
