This thought-provoking session will address one of the biggest ‘elephants’ in today’s corporate boardrooms – the question of unprecedented levels of consumption of material goods around the world. The World Resources Institute has thoroughly researched the threats of growing consumption as well as the innovative business models that work in a resource-constrained world in effort to imagine a future economy that supports human development, environmental stewardship, and business success. Discover the magnitude of the challenge/opportunity, and then get innovative on the solutions that will see tomorrow’s markets thrive without the need to sell more stuff to more people in perpetuity.
