The Sustainable Leader Conference 2022
Whether it's the global covid-19 pandemic, the cost of living crisis, climate change or the war in Ukraine, recent history has shown us that investing in the future sustainability of our businesses, communities and climate is essential.
Future sustainability requires innovative thinking now. That’s why the Salt Sustainable Leader Conference is bringing together leading voices from business, policy, finance and development for a day of keynotes, networking and workshops so that together we can build impact driven businesses that last.
This is an opportunity for leaders from across sectors to engage with the key issues of sustainable leadership, organisations, finance and planet, and to hear from those pioneering the way forward.
Hear directly from leading voices - and what to expect on the day
Having previously hosted contributors such as former Christian Aid CEO Amanda Mukwashi, Lord Michael Hastings, Gemma McGough, Paul Polman and James Perry, the Sustainable Leader Conference offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from leading voices within an limited gathering.
Throughout the day you will:
