• Building on Global Goal 17, how can your organisation revitalise partnerships and cooperation to create value for both business and society?

• How does sustainability reporting* serve as a management tool to identify operational efficiency improvements, innovate products and services, build stronger relationships with stakeholders, enhance reputational value and increasingly attract investors?
