“Leverage social media to your business”. We’ve heard it countless times, but why bother? How does it even benefit your business?

We live in a fast changing digital age. While some of the best business practices stood the test of time, how your brand engages with people may not. If you still think having just a Facebook page is enough for your business - you’re wrong!

SHIFT happens! So you either sink or swim with the current tide, or better yet, embrace new technology for your business and stay market relevant.

As the definition of value continues to evolve, the demand for business to demonstrate its ability to create value of various forms for all stakeholders – and not just profit for shareholders – is increasing, and the question of how this value is identified, measured and communicated becomes paramount.

When it comes to building an informed sustainability business roadmap, how should a company move from metrics, to tactics, to strategy? What companies are embedding sustainability across their entire value chain, and how are they leveraging the existing system infrastructure as a central part of the solution especially in this digital age?

Attend this workshop to learn on how you can create the SHIFT into your business and learn the new sustainability models that can be adapted to your business in the digital world.
