Conversations in Environmental Sustainability: beyond greenwashing
Event
St Edmund Hall, Oxford, is pleased to announce an exciting new seminar series:
Conversations in Environmental Sustainability: beyond greenwashing
Seminar One: Where are the innovations in renewable energy?
The termly seminar will bring together leading thinkers and decision-makers from academia, business, government and NGO’s 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 open to all on a first-come-first served basis and is kindly sponsored by Ninety One.
Join us for this special inaugural seminar.
