Stakeholders & Sustainability
The theme for this year’s conference ‘Stakeholders & Sustainability’ reflected the political mood of the day. The pandemic has given rise to an economic shift towards stakeholder capitalism – where companies create sustainable value for all stakeholders, customers, employees, suppliers, communities, the environment and shareholders.
The conference explored the massive opportunity for business leaders across all sectors and company sizes to get on the right side of this, de-risk their business and generate more sustainable long-term profitability.
Headlining the conference was Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever and Co-founder & Chair of IMAGINE. Paul was joined by a host of Irish & international CEOs leading the way in sustainable capitalism and ESG.
Ibec CEO Danny McCoy said: “An effective stake in any society depends upon having the economic capacity to participate fully. It is the success of the business model in this generation that has allowed people to have a stake in our society and to stay in Ireland, if they want, to build a family, to build a career, to build a future."
The event was broadcast live using a combination of keynote presentations and panel discussions and is available to watch post event for 90 days.
