SXSW SYDNEY Event: Beyond Greenwashing: the end of leadership as usual

Are executive roles really being recalibrated for business for social good so we can claim the end of leadership as usual? Has humanity been overly focussed on saving the planet, while neglecting to turn the mirror on ourselves as both plunderers and potential saviours? Business leaders have severely underestimated what it means to create a safe operating space for humanity in a climate changed and technology infused world. But are we ready, or do we even know how to identify leadership that can help humanity adapt, survive, and prosper? What attributes, practices, and everyday acts of bravery mark the talented people who can navigate new trajectories for global prosperity within this decade?

In this conversation Serena Stewart guides an open discussion to move us beyond the risk mentality that spotlights acts of greenwashing toward unleashing curiosity, connectedness, creative abundance and compassionate workplaces where we can truly make a difference.

The panel is hosted by Serena Stewart who brings together in conversation:

• Andrew Davies – CEO of B Lab Australia and NZ
• Chris Kay – founder at andOpen and Industry Professor at UTS Business School
• Dani Matthews – co-founder and chief impact officer at Abundium
• Melissa Edwards – Director Centre for Business and Sustainable Development and Australian Business Deans Council Climate Action fellow

This is an offical SXSW Sydney event. Priority access will be given to SXSW Sydney badge holders.
