Novartis and SustainAbility presented a webinar on September 11th, the fourth of a series of conversations about the results and outcomes of Novartis’ 2017 Corporate Responsibility Materiality Assessment.
In 2018, we began a webinar series with Novartis to showcase and discuss how to manage the impact of a company on society and the environment at large through the lens of a materiality assessment. In an ever-changing world – environmentally, socially and economically – the way in which companies identify and understand the context in which they operate, and can thrive, is essential.
This webinar, moderated by SustainAbility’s Rob Cameron, focused on how companies can analyse the impacts of global changes on a company.
