ESG Buy-In: Strategies for Leadership and Employee Support

When championing change within an organization, leadership buy-in and cross-functional support are essential for long-term success. But how can you actually "make the business case" and "influence without authority" to enlist your executives and peers to support ESG and impact initiatives? In this member workshop, we'll explore strategies and techniques to communicate the benefits of ESG initiatives to your colleagues, team members, and senior leaders so that you can create and advance a cohesive approach that fosters a culture of inclusivity, sustainability and responsibility.

This live event occurred on Feb. 28, 2024 from 12:00 PM-1:00 PM EST. A recording of the event is available to watch on-demand in the video player above. Access to this workshop is exclusive to Women Leading Travel & Hospitality members.
