Approaches to sustainable business often assume that companies can profit from protecting the environment and supporting the wider community. However, there is a discussion today that businesses’ pursuit of profit frequently has negative impacts on society and the environment, such as contributing to inequality and climate change.
This webinar aims to uncover the tensions between profit and sustainability, and discuss how to address these tensions for a more sustainable future. The panel consists of researchers and business representatives that have a wide range of knowledge and experience with the challenges and synergies between profit and sustainability.
