Conversations in Environmental Sustainability: beyond greenwashing

Conversations in Environmental Sustainability: beyond greenwashing (CES)
This new public termly seminar brings together leading thinkers and decision-makers from academia, business, government and NGOs to look beyond greenwashing. Each seminar will examine a specific issue related to environmental sustainability, exploring how to effectively marry environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals with financial returns, innovation and other business imperatives.
A panel of experts will each speak individually before engaging with each other in a panel discussion. This will be followed by further conversations over drinks in the College. St Edmund Hall’s intimate and beautiful site will provide the setting for the audience of experts and guests to consider honest, solution-based responses to the challenges posed if we are to deliver environmental sustainability.
This is a free public event series open to all on a first-come-first-served basis.
