About the event
The business community, including the global jewellery and watch industry, has committed itself to reducing its impact on the planet and to increasing its engagement with climate action. And, during COVID we have seen companies struggling with the crisis continue their commitment to sustainability and responsible business.
What can we learn from each other and what more can we do during this Decade of Action to continue our committment to Agenda 2030 and the Global Goals? What stories can we share with our employees, customers and supply chain to inspire and encourage action on the ground? How can we identify actions relevant to each individual business and how can we measure success?
Join us for our Climate Action special edition webinar as part of our SDG Roadshow series to help you understand the SDGs and find ways to integrate them into your responsible business.
Held in collaboration with United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) during Climate Week 2020, ‘Engaging with Climate Action’ is your opportunity to:
- Hear directly from UNGC as they reflect on all the news and activity during the UN General Assembly and Climate Week;
- Discover what RJC members are doing to engage with climate action;
- Feel supported by RJC and fellow members; and
- Raise your climate action questions with a panel of sustainability experts.
