Addressing the climate crisis requires a multidisciplinary approach. The more innovations with potential to scale that we can “trial” in meaningful ways, the more likely we are to find the solutions we need to mitigate climate change over time. 

The importance of viable pathways for technical founders to scale inventions and solutions cannot be overstated. Join us for a discussion around supporting innovation and the technical founder’s journey, and the policy levers and university tools that make this a reality.

Beyond the Buzz: How Businesses Can Execute on their ESG & Sustainability Strategy and Create Value

From investors to employees, stakeholders across the value chain increasingly demand companies build sustainability directly into their business model, meet certain ESG imperatives, and measure and report their impact. While prioritizing our planet and the people on it is undoubtedly good, it has also recently emerged as a best business practice. Organizations that fail to adopt the public sentiment and regulatory standards will be left behind, but implementing measurable ESG practices can seem overwhelming without a defined strategy. 

Join us in Room 660 at the Wharton San Fransisco Campus or virtually via the Zoom link (at the bottom of the event description) for a panel discussion with experts across the ESG & sustainability ecosystem including: 

This informative discussion will last one hour and will explore how companies can anticipate, measure and manage impact on climate change and design a future-proof sustainability strategy for their business. The event is open to the public and intended for companies, investors, students, as well as any climate-curious folks looking to learn more about the intersection of climate, finance, business, and technology! 

Complimentary light refreshments will be served for all in-person attendees. 

When: Apr 17, 2023 05:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
