3BL Forum Asks the Question, Now What?
Two main stage panels set the context for the day
3BL Forum: Brands Taking Stands® –Now What? opens their high-octane conversation with C-suite and other corporate leaders by tackling the question many corporations have asked themselves after nearly three years of influx, “Now What?”
Setting the context for a full day with 20 main stage sessions, the Forum’s opening panel asks “How do we shift the mindset of boards and shareholders?”
Panel: How Do We Shift the Mindset of Boards and Shareholders?
SEC rulemaking on climate disclosures is consequential for boards and shareholders. How must boards understand their fiduciary responsibility to act on risk? The success of an enterprise is larger than its ROI and must subscribe to a long-term view. How do we change the mindset of board members and shareholders to address long-term challenges that simply cannot be solved in one quarterly earnings call.
Panelists include:
Mindy S. Lubber, President and CEO, Ceres
Bruce Simpson, Senior Advisor, McKinsey & Company
Tensie Whelan, Professor and Director, NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business
The session will be facilitated by Chris Hagler, Partner, Independence Point Advisors
