Business leaders will be given practical tips for
implementing or improving their company’s Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) policy in a dedicated workshop facilitated by the Meeting Industry
Association (MIA) next month.
Open to professionals in the business meetings and events
sector, including CEOs, general managers and operations directors, the one-day
workshop on Wednesday 14 August titled "Getting to grips with ESG – a practical workshop
for leaders" will guide attendees through the essentials of ESG.
Led by sustainability consultant Stephanie Lykourgou, the
event at 15Hatfields in London will take place following calls from the sector
for greater guidance on the rising topic. The event will provide a
comprehensive introduction to ESG, including what it is and why it matters,
along with a practical step-by-step guide to getting started with an ESG
strategy.
Attendees starting their ESG journey will leave the workshop
with the tools to craft an ESG strategy framework, while those who have already
begun their journey will be equipped with the knowledge they need to build on
their existing strategies and policies.
Lykourgou will decipher what ESG really means before guiding
attendees through the process of developing a dedicated strategy. Her
informative sessions will also explore greenwashing, help focus attention on
future steps and introduce solution providers.
She said: “It’s really important to me that this workshop
does not lightly inform and inspire but actually gives a really thorough guide
to a process, so attendees leave with a plan to follow and are empowered with
information as to what best-practice would look like at each stage and within
their organisation specifically.”
Lykourgou has worked in-house delivering ESG strategies for
leading caterers, restaurants, hotel groups and global retailers, collaborated
with NGOs and academics around the world investigating sustainable food systems
and offers tailored support to organisations seeking to achieve
industry-leadership in ESG while building their own climate resilience.
