Nurole Fireside Chat: Sustainability in the Boardroom: What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why It Matters
Details
No matter the sector or structure of your board, sustainability is no longer optional - it’s a strategic imperative.
But how should boards navigate an agenda that feels complex, sector-specific and, at times, overwhelming?
Join us for a candid conversation with experienced board members Alexandra Innes and Zoe Howorth, whose track records span FMCG, education, financial services, real estate, sport, media, and more.
We’re pleased to have partnered with Chapter Zero – the Directors’ Climate Forum to bring together this expert panel for a timely conversation.
We'll explore:
✅ What’s working (and what isn’t) when it comes to sustainability at board level
✅ How the challenges differ by sector - and what unites them all
✅ Real stories of meaningful impact - and where things got stuck
✅ How to get sustainability up the board's priority list
✅ Reasons to be optimistic about what’s next
Comments from attendees of past sessions:
"An hour jam packed with thought-provoking content."
"... brilliant speakers and expertly chaired by Oliver Cummings. My second Nurole Fireside Chat and another hour very well spent."
