Climate change and biodiversity loss are closely interconnected, and how companies respond to them is not only a matter of environmental responsibility but also a key factor in determining long-term growth potential and competitiveness.
In response, ERM Korea, together with UN Global Compact Network Korea and the British Embassy Korea is hosting the Executive Breakfast Seminar to introduce UK’s economic transition policies with an integrated approach to nature and climate, while presenting global corporate case studies on proactive responses to biodiversity risks. Through these discussions, we aim to provide key insights for shaping future business strategies for domestic companies.
This roundtable will focus on how to effectively leverage the climate crisis and biodiversity issues for corporate competitiveness while exploring corporate visions and strategies to strengthen sustainability.
