THEME #1

What are the white space opportunities, and what are the roadmap recommendations to capture it?

RUNDOWN

White space opportunities in enabling growth through sustainability and philanthropy include sustainability reporting, environmental and social impact assessments, mapping activity against UN SDGs, plastics in the pandemic, and supply chain assessments.

Companies can influence their supply chains for positive environmental and social performance as well as measure their own business activities' positive and negative environmental and social impacts.

Sustainability reports are evolving to provide content creatively and engagingly with stakeholders.

One challenge is eliminating single-use plastics during a pandemic when health and safety concerns are driving demand for them.

Another opportunity would be for companies to assess how actions align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) to showcase how they are driving toward a better world.
