“Business as usual will not be possible due to climate change” Deborah Meaden, Entrepreneur and ‘Dragon’
Climate damage and legislation will impact every business:
– The right to Buy
– The right to Sell
– Availability and Cost Impacts
The reality is that whilst much ‘sustainability’ (ESG) legislation is currently focused toward larger organisations, and reporting requirements are not yet impacting SMEs this legislation and the actions of these larger companies will have an impact on SMEs to the point that business as usual will not be viable for most within 5 to 10 years. This session was inspired by a SME Manufacturer who closed their doors because they didn’t see the upcoming impact of sustainability.
Building on the speakers acclaimed keynote ‘Adapt or Die’ this session is aimed at SMEs to help them protect their future with the tools, to:
- assess the risks in Your business
- build risk mitigation and adaptation plans
- identify opportunities for growth
