In our September 4th xChange Caroline Taylor, OBE, Chair of Oasis Community Learning and former CMO of IBM Global Markets, will host and interview Paolo Taticchi and Melina Corvaglia-Charrey​, co-authors of How to Be Sustainable: Business Strategies for Leading Change.

While over 90% of business leaders recognize the importance of sustainability, only 60% have a strategy in place. And many of these strategies are inefficient, ineffective, or simply don't go far enough to address the global challenges we are facing.

We will explore the practical strategies and tools Paolo and Melina have learned from their research and from interviewing some of the world's leading Chief Sustainability Officers from various sectors and businesses including Enel Group, Microsoft, Canon, and Sage.

And they will share how we can all make a better business case for sustainability.

Paolo is Professor in Strategy and Sustainability and the Co-Director of the Centre for Sustainable Business at University College London, School of Management. He is a prominent sustainability expert, speaker and consultant working with corporates and governments around the world.

Melina is a Researcher at University College London, School of Management. She has over 15 years of experience as a senior marketing leader in the media industry, and also works as a consultant supporting small-to-medium size businesses with their sustainability reporting efforts.
