It is a decisive moment in history for our planet and society and the role business plays in the outcome has never been more critical. Companies are being tested at every turn as stakeholders demand more action on everything from social justice to climate change. We can no longer act alone to bring about the changes needed. It’s time for more collaborative and creative solutions. This webcast brings together sustainability and marketing leaders from Meta, eBay, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise with an executive from communications consulting firm Hotwire Global Communications to discuss why an alliance-based approach to Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) is imperative, what goes into deciding where and how to collaborate, and ways that companies can forge new partnerships to scale your impact.

What you will learn:

  • Why the way to impact is through industry alliances—join up or get left behind
  • Ways to assess your peer group to find new ESG partner opportunities
  • Whether to join existing coalitions or build your own, or both, and how
