Search practically any large company, as well as many smaller ones, and you will find a sustainability report detailing all the efforts to create a more environmentally friendly enterprise. While this is certainly a positive development, companies need to solve not only any potential technical problems, but a range of challenges across the supply chain. This includes questions about what goals to set, which aspects of sustainability to prioritize, the impact on customers, and how to pay for it while keeping investors satisfied. In this interactive discussion, Gemline Executive Chairman Jonathan Isaacson will discuss, from the vantage point of the Chairman and CEO of a business with a global footprint, the difficult and potentially risky decision-making process involved in making a company more sustainable.
