Publié le 30 janvier 2025 Mis à jour le 30 janvier 2025

����Rethinking business strategy for a sustainable future.

Faced with the challenges of our time, how can companies reinvent their business models to ensure both short-term and long-term resilience?

With 6, and soon 7, out of 9 planetary boundaries exceeded, warnings are increasing, and pressure on businesses is intensifying. In this context, companies must fundamentally rethink their strategies:

  • How can environmental and societal constraints be transformed into opportunities?
  • How can business models evolve to become not only sustainable but also regenerative? 

It’s no longer enough to reduce carbon or material footprints: tomorrow’s businesses must aim for a net positive societal and environmental contribution to secure their prosperity and resilience.��

Take part in this exceptional conference to explore these crucial issues with inspiring experts:

  • Estelle Cantillon – Professor at Solvay Brussels School and Academic Director of the Sustainable Development Initiative
  • Fabrice Bonnifet – Director of Sustainable Development & QSE at Bouygues Group and Board Member of The Shift Project

��Agenda:

Our speakers will share their insights and experiences on key questions such as:

  • How can sustainable practices reduce environmental impact while improving operational efficiency and long-term cost savings?
  • How does a sincere commitment to sustainability enhance a company’s reputation, brand loyalty, and market presence?
  • How can sustainability boost employee satisfaction and retention, strengthening a company’s market position and long-term resilience?
  • How do sustainable practices shield businesses from economic, environmental, and social shocks or mitigate their impacts?

We will also explore how the Solvay Brussels School is adapting its programs to equip future graduates with the skills and knowledge needed to actively contribute to the sustainable transformation of our society.♻️
