Inspiring Sustainability Leadership

Outstanding sustainability leadership, both outside and inside the EBRD’s countries of operations, were showcased at a special event at this year’s EBRD Annual Meeting in Tbilisi, Georgia, Inspiring Sustainability Leadership, organised by the Environment and Sustainability Department and the Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Team.

 

 

Friday 15 May 2015

 

09:00 – 10:45, Room 2, Parliament Building

 

The event comprised three important elements:

 

Launch of the EBRD’s 2014 annual Sustainability Report

 

The Sustainability Report demonstrates the environmental and social dimensions of sustainability at the EBRD and reports on the results and impact of our performance in 2014. The Report is available primarily as a dedicated microsite and is complemented by a summary print version in pdf format.

 

 

Discussion Panel – Inspiring Sustainability Leadership

 

A panel of recognised sustainability leaders discussed why being a sustainability leader is of such value and how the EBRD can inspire its companies to address sustainability issues in a more comprehensive and holistic manner. Just as importantly, it explored how some of these clients themselves can (or have) become leaders and role models for the business community within their countries and regions.
