The social and economic disruption caused by the Covid-19 crisis should allow companies to take a step back and restart in a way that is also more sustainable. As we begin the journey to our new normal, now is the time for companies to live into their purpose and contribute to building a more resilient, sustainable, and healthy society on the other side of the pandemic.

In this webinar we will discuss:

• The impact of Covid-19 and the approach to corporate sustainability.
• Adapting to meet the needs of stakeholders.
• Principles for a new environment
