Event Details

Amidst the chaos of trade disruptions, supply chain challenges and deep uncertainties in the global economy, one critical issue risks falling off the agenda: climate change and sustainability in general. Yet, these are not just environmental concerns. They are business imperatives that will shape the future of every industry in every sector and every country.


Join us for an exclusive 2.5-hour workshop tailored for senior executives in Malaysia. This session will cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters: understanding the risks of climate change and sustainability and how they impact your business. Through interactive discussions, real-world examples and creative problem-solving, we will think through practical strategies that can help inform your organisation's path toward a sustainable and resilient future.


Together with experts in the field, facilitated by EICN, we will dissect each others' experiences and best practices and gain clarity on the most pressing climate and sustainability risks for Malaysia and ASEAN.


You will gain important insights and then think through how these risks affect your specific industryโ€”and what you can do about it. We will also discuss instruments to integrate sustainability into your business strategy, even in challenging times.


Join us and fellow business leaders and share ideas for meaningful action. Don't let sustainability slip off your radar. Let's tackle these challenges together and ensure your business thrives in the long term.


Spaces are limitedโ€”secure your spot today and take the first step toward leading with purpose.


Objectives:

  • Educate our members on the current and future risks of climate change and sustainability challenges.
  • Explore how these risks impact businesses across industries in SEA and Malaysia.
  • Equip leaders with actionable strategies to integrate sustainability into their business models.
  • Foster collaboration and creative problem-solving among participants.
