The “Green” Space is Gray: How to Get Clear on Sustainability & ESG Goals
Although the concepts of “sustainability” and “ESG” may feel like commonplace, these movements are still relatively new, with the term “ESG” being coined less than 20 years ago. So much is unknown in these spaces and best practices have yet to be defined. As purpose-driven organizations, we are all building and implementing our programs while we are still learning about the space. If you don’t have it all figured out yet, don’t worry. The truth is: no one does. Join us as we discuss why the “green” space is actually a gray space.
Our panel of experts will share tips for navigating the uncertainties faced while defining and tracking towards sustainability and ESG goals, as well as how to create programs of impact that will satisfy your consumers.

Christine Yeager, Former Director of PMO Sustainability, Coke
