Two CEOs took different routes to the top: Alison Whritenour became CEO of Seventh Generation in 2021, before she turned 40, taking over a company with a strong sustainability legacy. Entrepreneur Tynesia Boyea-Robinson, author of The Social Impact Advantage: Win Customers and Talent By Harnessing Your Business for Good, founded CapEQ in 2011 to help Fortune 500s embed social impact in their business models. In this peer-to-peer conversation, the two discuss what it will take for companies accustomed to evolving to instead leapfrog beyond what businesses have done before, and how next-generation leaders will take them there.
Speakers:
Organizers:
As more companies acknowledge their accountability for environmental injustices in the communities where they operate, disclosure data will be key to identifying problems and finding solutions. Lori Llewellyn, Managing Director, CDP North America, discusses exclusive broad-level findings about local air and water pollution by U.S. companies, homing in on two cities as case studies. Learn how data can help businesses collaborate with local communities to future-proof operations, reverse systemic injustice and create healthy, prosperous places to live and work.

Speakers:
Organizers:
Sustainability leaders know that net zero means little without the high quality data to track it, but that delivering accurate and complete reporting can divert resources away from projects that drive the net-zero transition. What about this problem intrigued Persefoni CEO Kentaro Kawamori so much that he quit his C-suite job to solve it? How will we get there, who will lead, and what role will technology play?
Speakers:
Organizers:
From TV shows to production crews, Paramount is applying scientific data and rigor across its ecosystem to remove racial bias and correct mental health tropes that perpetuate stigma. Crystal Barnes, Paramount Senior Vice President, Social Responsibility & ESG, explains how they're doing it and shares how it's going.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Collective action – businesses collaborating to address common challenges such as climate change and social justice, often with civil society groups at the table – has been hailed as the heart of corporate sustainability practice. It's also been blamed for multiple parallel initiatives, processes paralyzed by lack of consensus, and progress at a snail's pace. As we confront the urgency of addressing climate change, biodiversity loss and social justice, sustainability leaders from three prominent brands look into the future of corporate collaboration and partnership to drive action.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Psychologist and strategist Dr. Renee Lertzman explores what it means for humans – sustainability professionals in particular – to lead amid the multiple crises we're confronting. Given the high stakes, how can we model a new way of leading, that’s based on “radical attunement” to ourselves, teams, colleagues, and stakeholders? Sharing insights from the frontlines of leadership, she invites us to reimagine our roles as guides for change.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Startups working to address global sustainability issues have a growing number of choices when deciding how to fund and scale their business, including dozens of corporate accelerators. Two startup founders discuss navigating today's innovation landscape, the ups and downs of building a business that serves bigger companies' sustainable supply chain goals, and coach big corporations on the best way to engage with startups.
