SPEAKERS

Responsible and sustainable businesses are the future. As many companies are working to achieve net-zero emissions and to meet the requirements of the Paris Agreement, jobs that help foster corporate sustainability are in demand.

Unfortunately, as it is an emerging profession, there is a significant skills gap. Investment in sustainability & CSR education and certification is vital.

This Roundtable is to provide a space for open dialogue. Leading companies and organizations will present pioneering training programs to bridge the skills gap in sustainability professions and showcase different CSR and sustainability certification schemes to improve trust with relevant stakeholders.

Key questions that will be addressed:

  • What are the skills that Sustainability and CSR professionals need?

  • What is the role of secondary and tertiary education in acquiring such skills?

  • What is it exactly that CSR certification schemes certify?

  • What are the benefits for businesses of hiring professionals skilled in CSR?

  • What can a CSR certification offer to a company?
