Hello,
my name is Emily Bailey,and I lead the stakeholder capitalism metrics Initiative at the World Economic Forum.
Um, I'm delighted to be here today with you in Davos to answer some questions that are top of mind.
So first off, how does being collaborative make achieving sustainability targets more likely?
So my work at the forum is very much focused on bringing together global communities of business leaders to help address some of the world's most pressing sustainability challenges.
So what we're trying to do is we see that if we get everyone together,
we get a seat at the table for these important discussions to help drive change, drive convergence, and drive global alignment so we have a better comparable system for reporting of sustainability and non-financial information around the world.
Second,
Our business is doing enough to re-engineer their economies for a more sustainable future.
So we hear today in Davos and throughout the course of the week is how companies are leading the charge in guiding along their value chains, their stakeholders,
and the communities in which they engage with and actually helping to shape a sustainable future.
So we are seeing companies here leading the charge,
and we expect from this week more companies to also help join this effort to help guide their supply chains, their value chains, their stakeholders and shareholders to a more sustainable future.
And finally,
What sort of impact are you personally hoping to see from this year's annual meeting in Davos?
So today we heard the year 2023 is really about setting the future for us.
So in our session today when we started talking about the future of sustainability reporting, we agreed that we have an opportunity this year to feed in and provide helpful input into the global alignment process underway.
So it's time to act now and for communities around the world and stakeholders around the world to come together
to help shape the future.
And thank you so much for joining us in Davos at the World Economic Forum annual meeting.
