Pre-evening dialogue: Impact measurement

Multiple forces push towards increased transparency and are driving demand for businesses to clarify their purpose and to create long-term value across stakeholders. This shift is being led by investors, regulators, employees, consumers, and broader society, and creates a strategic imperative for business leaders to act and measure their impacts on stakeholders and the 17 SDGs.

Leading approaches to long-term value creation thereby align business strategy, implementation and impact measurement in order to foster trust. Clarifying, measuring, managing and communicating the positive as well as negative impacts on stakeholders is therefore becoming a management priority and new methods and tools for better data availability and evaluation are sought. During this event we will discuss these different aspects in more detail.
