EVENT REVIEW

BUILDING TRUST IN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS

192 April 2024

Inspired by the fantastic audience at Sustainability LIVE : Net Zero Glen White , Founder and CEO of BizClik took to the stage to take a few minutes to reflect on the future of sustainability and ESG . Thanking those who have attended , Glen reflected on the driving force behind the founding of Sustainability Magazine and subsequently Sustainability LIVE .

“ There was a vision back in 2018 to build a platform around sustainability and ESG , but it was not inspired by sustainability leaders . In fact , it was inspired by procurement and supply chain leaders saying to me – ‘ Come on Glen let ’ s stop talking about digital transformation and instead talk about how it will drive the future of our sustainability ’,” says Glen .

Building a platform that will shape the future First launched in February 2019 , Sustainability Magazine began its journey under another name – CSO Magazine . Glen adds : “ But that name didn ’ t do justice to the industry and the fantastic people who are driving the agenda .”

This is when Glen made the decision to reevaluate the platform and its mission for the future . “ That was when we pivoted to Sustainability Magazine in March 2020 , and I am proud to say to the team what an amazing job they did growing the magazine and having it voted the number one sustainability magazine in the world in 2023 .

The future of sustainability and the world “ We need to be better ,” he continues . “ There is little time for answers when we need solutions . Is it corny to say we need to save the planet , we need to be a more diverse and inclusive world . All of the above is why we started this platform and why I am pleased to see you here at Sustainability LIVE .”

Closing his speech , Glen thanked the audience and sponsors for the work they are doing in driving the movement forward . “ You are making the real difference , sustainability leaders today are showing us the way forward . We also have to thank our sponsors , without them we wouldn ’ t be able to do this ( Sustainability LIVE ). They are there to help you , to give you a solution to implement strategies and to make informed decisions today for the future .
