to select topics that are of interest to a diverse group, bearing in mind the multidisciplinary nature of social and environmental issues. |
| Frequency |
quarterly, in the form of breakfast followed by a talk. |
| Target Public |
businesses, lawyers, financial institutions, non-governmental organisations and environmental consultants. |
| Themes |
sustainability, waste policy, climate change, social and environmental risk management, access to genetic resources. |
| Events and seminars |
the Committee will be organising breakfast talks. |
| Networking opportunity |
the events of the Committee are an excellent opportunity for networking, since members from the private sector and non-governmental organisations are able to interact and exchange experiences, at meetings which are often also attended by public-sector representatives. |
| Members benefits |
the main benefit to members is the participation in debates and the sharing of experiences, since the topics are carefully chosen for their relevance, topicality, and also because they reflect trends in environmental and sustainability issues. The Committee meetings also provide opportunities for networking and coming together between different sectors, since, in addition to the members present at the meetings, many talks are given by public-sector representatives, promoting contact and debate with differing visions. |
