A shift to responsible business practices – whether that be reviewing your human rights or procurement practices, changing policies on resource management and retraining staff on efficient use of energy, water and managing waste – all take time because you are choosing to run businesses differently.
The question then is how you get started and what you should be focusing on. In partnership with Future Proof PH, the ECCP is organizing a webinar entitled, What it Means to be a Truly Responsible Business and How You Can Get Started. This is scheduled on Thursday, 23rd July, 4:30 - 5:30 pm (GMT+8) via Zoom.
This session's speaker is World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, Pat Gallardo Dwyer, also the Founder and Director of The Purpose Business, who help organizations in Asia to embed purpose and sustainability into their business strategy and operations. They map environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts and help scale them responsibly to future-proof business amidst global volatility. Pat’s clients include Cathay Pacific, Jardine Matheson, The Hong Kong Shanghai Hotels (Peninsula), Danone, Swire Properties, Vitasoy, Century Pacific Food, Metro Pacific, and Universal Robina Corporation.
With over 20 years sustainability leadership experience, including as Ayala Land’s first CSR Manager and as global head of CSR and Sustainability for Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, she has worked across the spectrum from NGOs to corporate boardrooms and start-ups to make them purposeful and impact-driven.
