Risk is inherent in business. Companies face increasing pressure to grow while addressing a changing climate’s economic, political and social realities. For business leaders across the organization, understanding and preparing for climate and sustainability-related risk is essential for long-term success. Leadership teams can address risks from climate change, resource scarcity, and regulatory shifts by embedding sustainability into their core strategies while continuing to grow the bottom line.
Join Canadian Club Toronto on February 11th at GLOBExCHANGE 2025 when Jane Ambachtsheer, Global Head of Sustainability, BNP Paribas Asset Management, discusses the interconnected themes of risk management and sustainability. Hear perspectives from the investment community on corporate sustainability performance, explore how organizations can mitigate climate related risk and leverage sustainability actions as growth opportunities to help businesses thrive.
