In board room A, the sustainability team agrees on a plan to reduce emissions in X years by 30%. In board room B, the strategy team agrees on a plan to increase revenue by 30%. What are the odds these teams have aligned on how to attain both of these goals simultaneously? Growth is a natural goal of any business, but how can organizations reconcile ambitious growth goals whilst committing to fewer emissions, less production, and less resource waste? CAN organizations reconcile these contradicting goals? I’m looking forward to this keynote Q&A from Ken Pucker and Tobias Webb to open Innovation Forum’s Sustainable Apparel and Textiles conference later this month.
