Event Details:

Championing Sustainable Growth from the Boardroom is an immersive, one-week residential program exclusive for board directors. Bringing together expertise from across Stanford University in the heart of Silicon Valley and Egon Zehnder, the world’s preeminent global board and leadership advisory firm, this transformative experience is designed to equip board members with essential knowledge spanning the science, business, and stewardship of sustainability.

Through expert-led sessions, board directors will learn about, explore, debate, and connect with global peers on a variety of relevant topics. These include championing strategies to seize generational opportunities and mitigate the risks presented by seismic changes in energy, water, food, climate adaptation, natural resources, and other environmental ecosystems.

Directors will also embark on a personal development journey to heighten their contribution and leadership on this topic. They will reflect on the importance of 'systems thinking' in sustainability, and why it is essential to understand the interrelated benefits and consequences of each sustainability-driven initiative. Directors will develop their own roadmap to push boundaries and encourage 'methodical pragmatists' to drive innovation.
