Companies urged to take advantage of ‘The Great Reset’ to build a more sustainable future

Countries are given the unprecedented opportunity to build back in a more environmentally and socially sustainable way as they rebuild their economies amid the pandemic.  In the same way, this “Great Reset” offers a chance for corporations to rethink priorities and work towards building a more sustainable future.

Lucas Joppa, Chief Environmental Officer at Microsoft Corporation, pointed this out during the 12th Leadership Innovation Forum (Lead-In) of Globe Business.  The event, attended by over 900 guests including corporate leaders across all industries, carried the theme “Bigger Picture, Greater Future: Redefining Success Beyond Business.”

Joppa explained that at the center of the “Great Reset” is environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.  ESG urges companies to go beyond the pure pursuit of profit to benefit the broader socio-economic systems.
