Tutorial

The challenges we face as sustainability professionals are complex and interconnected. They’re global in scale, with many root causes and contributing factors, supported by deep-rooted institutions and structures. It can seem that the more urgency we feel, the more these challenges seem nearly unmovable. How do we know where and when to intervene? What actions and efforts will unlock transformational change, and avoid unintended consequences? How do we work with power, and understand who and how to influence to make change happen? Forum for the Future and their partners in the School of System Change are building the system change capabilities of change leaders around the world, and invite you to join this tutorial for a whirlwind exploration of tools, approaches, and methodologies that can enable you to take a systemic approach to your work. Learn from the do-ers and the makers, take real life lessons back with you, and discover how you can be a system change agent, no matter your context and role.

Tutorial: Beyond the Business Case: How Industry Leaders Unlock the Power of Internal Motivation

Tutorial
Grand Sonoran H-I

Ever wonder why it’s easier to get people excited about football than saving our world? You may be passionate about your cause, but ultimately success depends on our ability to inspire others. The narratives you tell yourself and others about why you do what you do, not only impact your performance, but also your personal flourishing. Likewise, shared narratives across your organization impact organizational and planetary flourishing. Learn how to identify where your organization falls along a continuum of sustainability motivation and the work you can do to take your culture to the next level. Gabriel Grant’s research at Yale’s Center for Business and the Environment understanding the culture within organizations like New Belgium and Patagonia, combined with years of experience coaching purpose-driven leaders, gives him a unique window into how you can cultivate a purpose driven firm, community, family and life.

Integrating SDGs at the Core of Business

Plenary
Grand Saguaro North & South

Since the inception of the SDGs, CSOs have grappled with how best to address these goals in their sustainability strategies. This conversation will explore emerging trends, best practices, standards, and stakeholder expectations, highlighting the efforts that both corporates and investors are making to integrate the SDGs into their strategic thinking. In addition, SDG metrics are becoming increasingly material to the investor community. How are investors working to integrate the SDGs into their analysis – and what trends are we likely to see moving forward? Are companies giving stakeholders, including investors, the information they need on the SDGs? And how should companies be communicating their efforts to fully capture their impacts and give an accurate and comparable demonstration of their efforts? Hear how businesses and investors can come together to most effectively advance this agenda.

The ROI of Purpose

Workshop
Wildflower A

A surge in emerging technologies and blurring of lines between work/life experience has caused a shift in employee expectations around work. What used to be a top down approach to talent management is becoming a shared responsibility, where employees desire a personal connection to work - and a greater sense of purpose in all that they do. What results are leaders - and employees - expecting from this shift? What are some of the unintended positive or negative impacts being seen? Join us for an interactive breakout to explore the ROI of purpose in the employee experience.

The Sustainability Framework for Success: What Early-Career Sustainability Leaders can Learn from the Pioneers

Workshop
Grand Saguaro East

They’re intrepid. Tireless. And perhaps a little battle scarred. They’re the professionals who’ve spent years of their careers working inside companies to bake sustainability into processes, business plans and marketing approaches. They’ve learned a LOT over the years and this session is intended for them to share what they’ve learned — a roadmap, if you will — with the next generation: professionals early in their careers or new to sustainability. Join this interactive session to learn from the successes and speed bumps that these veterans have experienced, synthesized into a framework for successfully baking sustainability into the way a business operates that you can apply to your own career.

Laying the Foundation for a Shared, Sustainable Commute

Solution Session
Grand Canyon 9
Whether you’re a bleeding edge technologist who believes autonomous vehicles will revolutionize transportation by 2020, or a believer in short-term evolutions like scooters, we all believe the next generation will witness significant evolutions in every major transportation offering.


While many of us are excited by the future potential of mobility, we’re also faced with real challenges that impact commuters and communities today. Ultimately, we need to answer:

  1. What investments can employers and public entities make today to implement sustainable transportation options, reduce costs, and improve quality of life for our commuters?
  2. What foundational thinking, groundwork, and investments do we need to consider now to achieve the full potential of future sustainable modes?

We’ll help sustainability professionals discover new approaches to change behavior and incentivize shared transportation modes through case studies across public and private partnerships, from Fortune 500 employers to public transit. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of potential sustainable mobility futures, and steps you can take today to ensure a shared, collaborative ecosystem of mobility options for your business and future generations.

Tech Tools Showcases are sponsor-led technology demonstrations addressing the thorniest challenges of corporate sustainability including assessment, measurement, reporting, risk management and materiality and more.

Diversity continues to be a top priority for leading companies, but it’s much easier to identify the issue than to implement an effective strategy.

And how do you measure the impact and business value created as a result of these efforts? Hear from Dr. Rohini Anand, SVP Corporate Responsibility and Global Chief Diversity Officer at Sodexo on how she has developed and driven a global diversity strategy, not just in the workplace but throughout the company’s supply chain and the communities in which it operates.

Putting Truth Back in Beauty

Plenary
Grand Saguaro North & South

Decades of studies indicate that serious health issues (including but not limited to asthma, cancer, and infertility) are on the rise and are due in some part to our ongoing exposure to toxic chemicals—whether it's in the shower, on our commute, while we eat lunch at a local restaurant, or when we clean our kitchens at home. There are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market today. Many don't have any safety data. This is particularly true of those used in the skin care and beauty industry. Hear from Beautycounter Founder & CEO, Gregg Renfrew, on her mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone.

Engaging Employees To Achieve Corporate Sustainability Goals

Workshop

An essential component of successful corporate sustainability initiatives is employee buy-in and participation at all levels. But does your workforce have access to meaningful programs that can help them reduce their carbon footprints outside of the workplace? This discussion will explore how organizations could accelerate progress on sustainability targets through new “benefits” options that consider and deliver on both corporate and personal goals — especially for adopting clean energy. A particular focus will be how companies can use community solar programs to meet corporate goals, while also making a direct impact when it comes to adding renewable energy to the local grid.

Moving from Incremental to Transformational Change: From Sustainability Projects to Sustainable Change

Workshop
Grand Sonoran C-D

It has been more than 30 years since the World Commission on Environment and Development’s “Brundtland Report” was published, bringing the concept of sustainability into the foreground on an international level. Though some good progress has been made, it is arguable that we aren’t moving at the pace nor scale we need to realize the change we need to secure our future. System change methodology offers an approach that enables sustainability practitioners to move from working on surface problems to addressing system-level issues. Join this session to learn about system change and how two leading organizations, Target and Kimberly Clark, are using this practice to create more ambitious, more efficient and more effective sustainability strategies.

The Purpose-Sustainability Link

Workshop
Grand Sonoran C-D

Join this session to hear two leading companies discuss the close link between purpose and sustainability. For Kohler, embracing sustainability led to a company-wide transformation — inspiring and engaging employees, activating partners they’d never considered, and leading to the development of new revenue-generating products. Thanks to these successes, realizations and paradigm shifts, the company discovered its ability to be a catalyst for change, and purpose is now a major tenet of corporate strategy. By contrast, at Steelcase, the process worked in reverse: the company’s focus on driving a sense of purpose in the workplace drove its commitment to sustainable business practices. Join this session to explore the steps, milestones and benchmarks that you can use to develop a strategy for your organization, whether you start with purpose to drive sustainability or start with sustainability to drive purpose.
