About the initiative

Built in collaboration with Goodness&Co and Kering on the conviction that the time for pledges is over and the next decade demands bold action, this program equips Board members with the mindset, tools and peer network they need to embed impact at the heart of strategy and governance.

Board for Change unfolds in a half-day dedicated program to get Boards on board, driving the transformation of business models to meet today’s environmental, social and governance challenges during a private breakfast, a flagship conference and a tailor made guided tour.
