ESG – Taking the ‘E’ to the Boardroom
We are pleased to announce that the next Institute of Directors (IoD) Aberdeen and Grampian Branch networking event continues the theme of developing awareness of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). The focus for the event is to connect with those that have direct experience of implementing an ESG structure in their organisation, with a discussion on the ‘E’. This will include hearing perspectives from a CEO (David Clark from Vysus Group) to understand how ESG could be more widely adopted in your organisation and the role you can play as a Director to support implementation.
The event is kindly sponsored by Persefoni and will take place at the Maryculter House Hotel including lunch and time to network. Part of the event will include a working session to allow the sharing of collective experience from those attending allowing for a greater sharing and learning experience. With the variety of backgrounds of the Aberdeen and Grampian Branch membership the intent is that the working session will allow you to gain experiences from others whilst also allowing conceptual development aligned to you and your organisation. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow IoD members and gain a deeper understanding from those that have first-hand experiences of the challenges and rewards of adopting ESG. This is a Members Only event and places are limited so we encourage you to sign up to secure a space. The committee and fellow IoD members look forward to connecting at this and future events.
The UK Country Manager and Co-Founder of Persefoni will be joining us for the day. If anyone would like to set up 1-2-1 meetings with his team during their trip to Aberdeen please contact our Chair, Sarah Downs.
