ABOUT ABOUT

The ESG Leadership Summit will provide the latest insights and strategies to navigate the complex and changing regulations around non-financial corporate reporting including Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. This event will cover changes to regulatory requirements, innovative approaches, and practical tips for enhancing accountability and stakeholder engagement.

Hear from Rob McCann, Head of Environment, Climate & Nature at Virgin Media/O2, who will be talking about the changing ESG landscape in which businesses are operating, how they are approaching it and lessons learned.

The event’s interactive and networking elements provide you with an opportunity to learn from fellow business leaders in how they are developing good practice, preparing for the emerging regulatory environment, and leveraging their ESG reporting to improve relationships with staff, customers, stakeholders and investors.

We will also be highlighting the importance of partnership and cross sector working, including: what can be learned from social enterprises who have been reporting on ESG performance for a long time; and a new multi partner project funded by Innovate UK, Leicestershire GreenerFuture, which will be supporting companies to accelerate climate actions and develop their decarbonisation pathways.

Who is this event for?
This summit is aimed at larger businesses seeking significant investment or who have international operations, to meet the requirements of ESG and climate related reporting in alignment with UK and European legislation.

It is also an ideal event for companies wanting to improve their ESG performance, disclosure, and stakeholder management.
