Session: The time is now for businesses to lead the way in the climate revolution
We’ve reached a point in this climate crisis where businesses can no longer stand idle and wait for climate policies to be passed. If we want to create a more sustainable and livable future we can no longer rely on incremental changes. We are in desperate need of a climate revolution and businesses need to lead the way. While government leaders consider solutions to solve the world’s greatest challenges, businesses need to charge forward and take an active, or in many cases, leading role in fighting climate change. In a session, Aruna Jayanthi, Head of Canada and Latin America markets at Capgemini, will tap into her expertise in transforming countless businesses into more sustainable companies and provide actionable solutions that business leaders can put in place to lead the way forward in the fight against climate change, carbon reduction, and more as we work towards a greener, more sustainable future.
