It’s too late for stand-alone sustainability strategies
If the way society has developed has shown us anything, it’s that our world is truly interdependent. What happens on one side of the planet affects us all. So how do we solve problems that go beyond borders? We need organisations that put sustainability at the heart of everything they do. We need organisations with purpose – an integrated, organisation-wide view of how they fit into our complex world. And we need organisations that drive positive impact through deeply collaborative, multi-stakeholder, cross-industry approaches. At DSM, we believe this is the only way to create viable long-term value for our stakeholders – and society as a whole.
After-show reception:
An opportunity to build your network and connect with friends old and new.
We look forward to seeing you!
