Chamber Connects: Corporate Sustainability, Reputation and Culture

Description: A panel discussion on Corporate Sustainability, Reputation and Culture, chaired by Chamber Director, Chris van Niekerk.

There has been a significant increase in discourse surrounding corporate sustainability, reputation and culture. Corporate sustainability has become synonymous with corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, but what does that mean and, why is it important?  Corporate culture is difficult to define, yet is conspicuous, influencing organisations and stakeholders alike. How do companies define and shape their culture? Reputation can take years to build, however, can be damaged very easily and quickly.  What does it take to maintain and nurture an organisation’s reputation?

Join the South African Chamber of Commerce UK for a panel discussion chaired by Chris van Niekerk, who has has 35 years of global financial services experience across developing markets, financing / capital markets, transactional banking and related corporate strategy.

The panel will include Sarah Hutton (Coca-Cola HR Director, Western Europe), Dr Marc Kahn (Global Head of Human Resources & Organisation Development at Investec), Patrick Butler (Calitor Ltd) and Jessica Whitcutt Fagan (It's a Shovel), and hear how leaders in sustainability are introducing a new corporate culture that is having a wide ranging effect within organisations, their supply chains, trade associations and, across their geographies.
