SUMMARY:The Davos Agenda
DESCRIPTION:About The Davos Agenda: Nearly two years after the start of global disruptions due to COVID-19\, economies\, societies and organizations are continuing to grapple with the unpredictable trajectory of the virus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the week that participants were meant to come together in Davos – 17-21 January 2022 – the Forum will instead host “The Davos Agenda”\, a series of virtual plenaries aligned with the Annual Meeting objective of orienting global leaders on the imperatives of the year ahead. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Davos Agenda features a mix of visionary “state of the world” special addresses and ambitious high-level leadership panels focusing on critical collective challenges\, the Davos Agenda will mobilize heads of state and government\, business leaders\, international organizations and civil society to share their outlook\, insights and plans relating to the most urgent global issues. The meeting will also provide a platform for connection\, enabling the public to watch and interact\, through livestreamed sessions\, social media polling and virtual connections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRadically different pandemic experiences have exacerbated generational\, geographical\, political and economic divides. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlobal responses are lacking and the pandemic’s trajectory – as well as a range of other global challenges – will remain unmanageable unless leaders execute solutions together. Now more than ever\, the world needs to come together. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by wef\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:EV Infrastructure Summit
DESCRIPTION:As we recover from the impact of the pandemic\, the UK is seeing a real push towards EV adoption\, driven by a combination of government initiatives in support of its Net-Zero Target. The UK Environment Bill and the Government’s Transport Decarbonisation plan are key in relation to improving air quality and speeding up the associated decarbonisation of road vehicles. To what extent will they catalyse the transition to EVs and encourage investment in EV infrastructure? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe third edition of City & Financial Global’s EV Infrastructure Summit is being held in London from 18th to 19th January. The programme will focus on what the 2030 challenges will mean for the EV ecosystem and how we could move towards a charging infrastructure that works for the consumer\, system and energy transition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference will feature insightful presentations and informed debate between senior experts and government representatives on the key topics involved in the roll-out of EV infrastructure\, recent developments and mid-term expectations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by cfconferences\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Digital is now - Driving sustainable 'Zero-Based' operations in European banking
DESCRIPTION:How digital are you?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe holy grail of ‘zero-based’ operations is now a key objective for Europe’s largest banks. In an ever-evolving digital landscape\, incumbent banks aim to keep pace and embrace smart data management and resilient future systems. With core banking operations at the very centre of a complete digital transformation\, how ready are incumbent banks to serve their customers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs banks strive for technology-enabled customer journeys and end-to-end digital capabilities\, workforces and legacy operations must shift accordingly. Remote working has triggered a European cultural shift and the challenges of stepping up to the digital mark cannot be ignored. As the spotlight falls on sustainability\, what are the challenges holding back the operational models of the future? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by The Banker and in partnership with Accenture\, this webinar is shaped by an in-depth European* Banking Operations survey conducted earlier this autumn on core banking systems and adoption of end-to-end digital capabilities: the European lens of Accenture’s Global Fast-track to future-ready banking research.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe discussion will highlight some of the most interesting findings voiced by the COO participants. Join this discussion with other operational leaders as we explore adoption of advanced technologies\, digitally enabled customer journeys and more.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Belgium\, Denmark\, Finland\, France\, Germany\, Italy\, The Netherlands\, Poland\, Spain\, Sweden\, Switzerland\, UK. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by TheBanker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:The growing case for responsible business education
DESCRIPTION:How can business schools encourage innovative approaches to further sustainable practices? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs sustainability tops the commercial agenda\, business schools are being urged to do more to integrate social and environmental topics into their courses\, as well as foster diversity among their faculty and students. Are they succeeding? \n\n\n\nOften driven by student demand\, schools have introduced more course content on sustainable business\, but many are offered only as electives. The challenge still remains to integrate topics such as biodiversity and social enterprise into core courses\, such as operations and finance. \n\n\n\nSchools are also being criticised for curriculum content that is still based around the ‘shareholder primacy’ model and the pursuit of short-term returns rather than the long-term strategies needed to address issues such as inequality or climate change. \n\n\n\nThe Financial Times is partnering with InTent to present this virtual webinar to showcase the winners from the Responsible Business Education Awards 2022\, which aimed to encourage innovative approaches to areas such as tackling climate change\, increasing sustainability\, and bringing about greater diversity and inclusion. We will also be discussing practical and measurable strategies for enhancing responsible business practices in business schools and business operations. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM GMT +0 / 4:00 AM – 5:00 AM Your local time   (1 Hour) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe growing case for responsible business education | MAIN AUDITORIUM BROADCAST \n\n\n\nStarts 2 min before the session time \n\n\n\n09:00 – 09:10  WelcomeAndrew Jack\, Global Education Editor\, Financial TimesAndré Hoffmann\, Co-Founder of InTent & Vice Chairman of Roche \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09:10 – 09:15  Video on Responsible Business Education Awards 2022 \n\n\n\n09:15 – 09:50  Panel discussionBusiness schools are coming under growing pressure from students\, employers and faculty alike to enhance their focus on responsible business education in their teaching\, research and their own operations.

SUMMARY:Delivering a resilient\, sustainable and strong economic recovery
DESCRIPTION:Placing the business sector at the centre of the rebuild\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre businesses moving fast enough to deliver change?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernments and businesses are facing a world radically changed by COVID-19 but despite the best of intentions\, recouping economic growth and social and environmental progress in the current uncertain context is not exempt from substantial challenges. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis FT Digital Dialogue\, organized in partnership with Accenture\, will discuss the progress made so far for the recovery in Europe and plans for 2022. It will address how we are advancing towards strengthening resilience in the face of future challenges. Focus will be placed on the role of business in delivering long lasting change towards this end. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter almost two years of the pandemic\, economic recovery in Europe has been volatile. The rebound was faster and stronger than expected\, but the recovery is still fragile\, with businesses contending with multiple challenges including supply chain disruption\, talent shortages\, rising inflation as well as new virus strains. Post-COVID-19 rebuilding still provides a unique opening for both the private and public sector to reset economies and business models\, establishing the foundations for a more sustainable\, resilient and inclusive recovery. A number of bold commitments – including green recovery packages and investment in digital\, physical and social infrastructure – have been stepped up to bring stronger economic growth\, meet global environmental targets and address structural inequalities. On top of this\, the acceleration in the race to net-zero and a fast adaptation to a dynamic\, hybrid new world of work have been driving forces in this same direction.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernments and businesses are facing a world radically changed by COVID-19 but despite the best of intentions\, recouping economic growth and social and environmental progress in the current uncertain context is not exempt from substantial challenges. How can businesses build resilience\, increase competitiveness\, and support long-term profitable growth? Is the ambition to reset economies for a more inclusive and sustainable recovery hampered? Is the built- in resilience sufficient to face new crises? Are the initiatives to accelerate digitization\, reskill workers and adapt workplaces and business models succeeding? Are they delivering more inclusive\, sustainable and resilient organizations and supply chains?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis FT Digital Dialogue\, organized in partnership with Accenture\, will discuss the progress made so far for the recovery in Europe and plans for 2022. It will address how we are advancing towards strengthening resilience in the face of future challenges. Focus will be placed on the role of business in delivering long lasting change towards this end. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks from FT Chair and welcome by Accenture\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion with audience Q&A\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs we take stock of nearly two tumultuous years and look ahead to 2022\, are we on track to get national economies growing again in a way that is efficient and results in more equitable societies? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre we better prepared to mitigate and recover from future shocks?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre businesses moving fast enough to deliver change?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow are they reinventing themselves to take advantage of new models of value creation\, driven by Digital and Sustainability? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do they ensure they have the right talent to succeed? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosing remarks from FT Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ftlive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
