Ateneo Institute of Sustainability (AIS), John Gokongwei School of Management (JGSOM), and Sustainable Development Solutions Network Philippines (SDSN PH) are partnering with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in organizing a hybrid public plenary entitled "The Evolving Role of Universities in Sustainability".  

The public plenary briefly introduces what sustainability is about, the current landscape of the industry and where it is going. In his public plenary, Eelco van der Enden, CEO of GRI will highlight how the changing landscape of sustainability transformed the role of universities in sustainable development. With the fight against greenwashing, stakeholders demand greater accountability from investors, businesses, and governments and this movement is a subject the universities could actively partake in. The event also intends to encourage participants to look more closely at the right avenues and opportunities in sustainability business management and reporting. This will be followed by a fireside chat and panel discussion featuring experts in the industry and academe.
