How business can align finance with SDGs and build resilience?
 

Aligning business products, services and finance to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is an opportunity. Adaptation and resilience to climate change is severely underfunded and impacts a range of SDG metrics. This is fast becoming an area for increased business action as supply chains become affected, products and services change due to climate change and jobs of today are altered or become obsolete. This presents an opportunity for corporates to adapt supply chains and generate value by building resilience in their own business, workers and the local communities in which they operate in. 
 

We are beginning to see more investor action that abides by sustainability regulations and frameworks. To secure the finance businesses need for growth going forward, companies will increasingly need to demonstrate that their activities meet these sustainability guidelines.  This fireside chat will explore the ways in which businesses can build the SDGs into their practice, with a particular focus on building resilience to the effects of climate change, and how can CSOs and CFOs strategically align to reduce risks and achieve transformative sustainability outcomes?
