The push to 'Build Back Better' from COVID-19 has put a green economy high on the UK's political agenda, most recently resulting in the government's pledge to power all homes with windpower by 2030.

WIG was delighted to invite you to hear from Elsa Palanza, Managing Director and Global Head of Sustainability and ESG at Barclays, and David Croft, Global Sustainability, Environment and Human Rights Director at RB (Reckitt Benckiser), as we discuss the opportunities of a green economy, and what must be done to achieve it.

By watching this webinar online you will:

  • Understand how a 'Green Economy' could provide sustainable growth, new jobs, and opportunities to re-skill the UK workforce
  • Learn more about the UK's roadmap back from the COVID-19 pandemic, and how sustainability, green jobs, and cleaner financial sector will be vital to a resilient economic system
  • Hear the business case for a green economy, including how the private sector will need to embed sustainability into its core business practice to remain viable
