This two-day conference will highlight the latest methods being applied by business to measure the impact of their sustainability programs. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of the different tools and techniques available, whilst assessing what has really worked for companies in practice.
 
The emphasis will remain on understanding impacts to drive strategy, justify budgets and communicate work effectively.

Agenda highlights

  • Understanding impact: How can business measure and communicate social and environmental impact effectively?
  • ROI in action: In-depth corporate case studies on how companies can attribute a clear and quantifiable return from sustainability programs
  • Effective communication: Companies often do great work. So how can companies talk about their genuinely positive impacts, without it looking like PR?
  • Enhancing the business case: How to ensure sustainability is firmly placed on boardroom agendas
  • The investor perspective: What do they want to hear about company performance and how do they want to hear it?
  • Data that drives decisions: How the right data systems and frameworks can drive innovation and strategy within sustainability departments
  • SDGs: How are these all-encompassing goals actually affecting and shaping the future of corporate disclosure and reporting?

What’s different about this forum?

Innovation Forum is:
  • Candid: Entirely off-the-record discussion that enables open and honest disclosure from speakers and genuine participation from the audience.
  • Practical: A clear focus on the practical and actionable guidance that can drive change throughout industries and supply chains.
  • Focused: We provide enough time, resources and expertise to the issues that really matter. We don’t skate the surface, but get to the crux of the issues to provide in-depth, constructive discussion.
Innovation Forum is NOT:
  • A PR platform: Enthusiastic speakers are NOT given free rein to fill a session presenting their companies, allowing no time to actually get to the crux of the issues.
  • A talking shop: This is NOT an opportunity for a group people in a room to simply agree with everything said, regardless of outcomes.
  • All promise, no delivery: We will NOT promise what we can’t deliver. The issues covered are complex. They won’t be solved at a two-day conference. But we will help deliver progress through in-depth, constructive and practical advice around specific issues.
