Leaders Sustainability Acceleration Programme
The purpose of the programme is to accelerate sustainability by aligning boards and executive teams with their organisations to create resilient supply chains, enhanced innovation for growth and distinctive organisations
Accelerating Leadership of Sustainability
In 2012, the Origin Green programme pioneered a pathway for the Irish food, drink and horticulture industry to begin its sustainability journey. We must now elevate the issue of sustainability to a guiding principle for businesses. The Irish food, drink and horticulture industry has called out its senior leadership group as the key force in meeting the challenges facing the industry. Customer demand for sustainability and our national requirement for carbon reduction cannot be dealt with by sustainability professionals working alone and isolated in the organisation. Sustainability must be led from the board and the executive team embedding sustainability into business strategy and investment decisions. Immediate action and the accelerated leadership of sustainability is now an urgent requirement.
Finance Leaders Programme now open for registration
The finance function may be the most important one in the delivery of effective sustainability initiatives. In conjunction with UCD Michael Smurfit Executive Development, Bord Bia have designed a one-off programme specifically for senior financial executives, taking place over five days in May, June, and September 2024. By incorporating sustainability considerations into their decisionmaking processes and ensuring sustainability is seamlessly integrated into business strategy and investment decisions, senior financial executives can contribute significantly to the long-term success and resilience of their organisations, and of the Irish food, drink, and horticulture sector as whole.
