Join us to explore the strategies, motivations, and barriers to striking a balance between achieving economic goals and generating a positive social and environmental impact. This discussion aims to offer actionable insights into aligning profitability with sustainability, ensuring long-term progress and stability.

-          What good practices and proof points have already been tested?

-          How can we accelerate the transformation towards greater responsibility?

-          How can we grow interest in impact-related issues in a highly profit-driven market?

-          What ecosystem changes, including tax and legal, could support this transformation?

What can we learn from more mature markets to achieve sustainable development and progress? Find out more here: https://ceeimpact.org/en-2023-comprehensive-analysis/
