Business for Biodiversity Ireland is delighted to once again be partnering with the Business Post ESG Autumn Summit, on Thursday, November 20th in Croke Park, Dublin. BFBI Business Programme Lead Dr Catherine Farrell CIEEM, Asst Prof at Trinity Business School, will be moderating the deep dive panel on Making the Business Case for a Nature-Positive Future, alongside John Barcroft, Sustainability Consultant at The Environmental Edge.

Regardless of the ESG pushback in some quarters, the reality is that all businesses will be required to decarbonise and reduce their impact on the planet as climate and nature-related shocks such as weather extremes and disrupted supply chains become more frequent. ESG is no longer just a compliance issue – it has become a core part of business strategy. This ESG Summit offers a platform for dialogue, innovation and action in addressing the challenges facing today’s businesses and sustainability professionals. Join business leaders, forward-thinking organisations, policymakers and changemakers for practical strategies to navigate regulatory changes, acquire actionable insights and build valuable networks. View the agenda HERE.

The BFBI Team will be here hosting an exhibition stand to discuss how we can help Irish businesses to tackle all of the above – come and ask us about our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme!
