Sustainable Agriculture: Tackling the Rising Food Crisis

The private sector is stepping up in the global fight against climate change, with $60 trillion of assets under management with net-zero commitments.

People, Planet, Profit: Big Tech Turns Green

Businesses and governments have made substantial pledges over the past years to reduce emissions and take action on climate. As leaders continue to work to translate those commitments into action, two major events could advance these efforts. The first, the passage of climate measures in the Inflation Reduction Act in the US, will finance hundreds of billions of dollars of green energy investments. The second, COP27 in Egypt in November, will build on the progress made in Glasgow last year. A conversation with BCG’s Rich Lesser will discuss the impact of the IRA for business and what leaders should expect at COP27.

Hosted by Salesforce 
There are a number of factors creating the “perfect storm” for a talent shortage: declining college enrollment, rapid wage inflation, a skills shortage, and the Great Resignation. In order to be successful in this environment, employers need to rethink the way they find and recruit top talent — from bold strategies like removing degree requirements to programs that are helping train and upskill candidates. This panel will discuss how to stay competitive in this market, and the role we all have to play in creating equal access for all.

Business has to meet the evolving needs of the workforce, demanding a new level of adaptation and agility from leaders. But change can be scary, and we often find ourselves adverse to things that feel unfamiliar.

We hear tips from the trenches.

CEO LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE TO BE ANNOUNCED

Hosted by PwC 
The metaverse is more than a cool concept; it is a way to make some cool cash. From engaging customers to improving the supply chain, organizations are leveraging extended reality to generate profit. This session digs into how CEOs can harness the power of XR and use it effectively.

LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE-METAVERSE: USING XR TO TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS

Hosted by Project Management Institute 
In the war for talent, CEOs must focus on attracting, retaining, educating, and reskilling employees to create sustainability within the organization. Employee needs have also shifted, however, with flexibility and well-being top of mind. With ongoing disruptions to talent development posing a challenge for leaders, how can CEOs reimagine work to bring employees together to collaborate, even if they are working apart?

Hosted by Workday 
“Purpose and profit” is no longer a platitude, but a marching order from employees and customers. An empowered workforce, innovation from diversity, climate commitment, and what’s good for the community require the CEO’s attention as much as the financials. During this major shift in corporate ideology, CEOs must balance standing up for their values, and those of stakeholders, without being sucked into a quagmire of notoriety. What are the incentives for CEOs to act, beyond superficial fixes that might invite skepticism? How far is too far when speaking out on polarizing issues? How can we leverage CEOs’ power to create a sense of shared purpose?

INFLATION RISKS FOR AMERICA AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

Glasgow was a watershed for business and climate, with a majority of Fortune 500 CEOs telling us in surveys they have adopted, or plan to adopt, net-zero targets, and with the SEC proposing to ratify that attention in regulation. Yet, all sorts of practical issues arise as leaders turn that intention into a reality. We’ll drill down on how to track progress in a reliable way, the role of offsets to address the problem, and tactics to make Scope 3 a reality with suppliers and customers.

CLIMATE: A WATERSHED MOMENT

Creating an equitable workplace culture is a top priority for stakeholders focused on ESG. With racial disparities and the digital divide, CEOs are pushed to solve for inequities at all levels of the organization. We’ll discuss how to design the infrastructure for inclusion and empowerment, from bringing more women into the workforce to building diverse supply chains.

SOLVING FOR INEQUALITY

SESSIONS TO BE ANNOUNCED

The pandemic revolutionized the way many of us work—but it also widened the already glaring disparities between the workforce’s haves and have-nots. How can better training policies and systems close those gaps, especially for the middle class? Retraining and reskilling the workforce is vital for building enduring skills. How can businesses build and expand employee knowledge, skills, and agility, leading to greater economic security? Executives will share how they are navigating new flexible hybrid work models, investing in reskilling and well-being, and exploring the science of effective meetings and fostering stronger communities.

CEOI COLLABORATIVE: BUILDING AND TRAINING THE WORKFORCE OF THE FUTURE

With less than eight years to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a renewed priority exists to balance our human aspirations with the planet’s ability to sustain them. This has been a constant narrative in the C-suites of leading firms, as net-zero commitments have proliferated. But how do companies move from commitments to action? How do they operationalize the actions needed to meet the goals, and balance sustainability commitments against financial goals? In this panel, we will share best practices on how businesses are moving from sustainability commitments to execution and positive impact.

CEOI COLLABORATIVE: POWERING SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES-MORE THAN WORDS

Hosted by Workday 	
The business case for diversity and inclusion is clear: Diverse workforces generate higher profitability, are better able to attract and retain top talent, and drive innovation across business functions. But despite DEI’s ostensible value add, many companies take a gimcrack approach, relying solely on short-term training programs to bring impactful, long-lasting results. Hear how leaders are making systemic changes, championing inclusive cultures, holding corporate stakeholders accountable for progress, and, most importantly, pivoting from conversation to execution.

LUNCHEON

Hosted by PwC 
When it comes to ESG, a company’s stakeholders may have different demands and desires. CEOs must balance these competing priorities as they deliver on their company’s strategic imperatives and highlight the organization’s ESG efforts. CEOs navigate this terrain against the backdrop of the left seeing ESG as a smokescreen to obscure corporate greed and the right viewing it as another move to “woke capitalism.” How can companies get the business strategy—and the message—correct in their efforts regarding ESG?

CEO LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE- ESG: Navigating Stakeholders’ Demands while Delivering the Right Strategy

Companies are under increased pressure from employees and other stakeholders to take a stand on important issues in society. But politicians are pushing back, urging business leaders to stay out of politics. How do you decide which issues to speak out about, and which issues to keep quiet on? How do you stand up for your values while steering clear of politics? Join us for a candid conversation to explore what’s becoming an increasingly difficult obstacle course as companies navigate the new world.
