About the session
What’s covered
As sustainability becomes everyone’s responsibility, AI has the answers, and politics push back — where will Chief Sustainability Officers drive the most impact and where is this stand-alone role irrelevant? For the first time, the GreenBiz mainstage features a real debate to unpack the complexities of this moment. We’re bringing ex-CSOs, early-stage sustainability practitioners, policy makers, climate scientists, investors and NGOs to share all sides of this topic. People will be talking about this one all week!
