The theme of the Spring edition is: “Sustainable Finance”
After the pandemic, key trends are back and more urgent than ever. Climate change will stay on top of the global agenda. The sense of urgency is growing and so is the pressure on governments and organizations to make real change. Organizations face major challenges to reduce their footprint on the earth and enable a fairer future. At the same time, the required transition offers opportunities to be truly distinctive and the organizations that are leading the way already have sustainable long-term value creation embedded in their DNA. How can Finance take the lead on the road to sustainable and durable revenue models?
Finance has an important role to play in the transition to a sustainable world that lies ahead. Not only in the area of reporting requirements, but also in the creation of sustainable business models. Revenue models that are based on actual costs, that reuse raw materials as much as possible and that are fair to society. How do you take the organization along in the transition? The theme of the Spring edition of Finance on a Mission is “Sustainable Finance”. We look at this theme from three perspectives:
- Sustainable business models
- Balance between purpose and profit
- Leading the transition
