A successful event! 29th Sustainability Executive Roundtable "The Future of Energy"

The 29th INSEAD Sustainability Executive Roundtable which took place on Friday 5th April 2013 on INSEAD Europe Campus in Fontainebleau, France was sold out. Over 70 participants registered provoking interesting panel discussions and lively debates.

The world's economic system has thus far been driven by the large-scale exploitation of fossil fuels. The depletion of these reserves and global warming make our current reliance on coal and petroleum unsustainable. The effort required to shift from a fossil fuel-based will be massive, as exemplified by Germany's "Energy-Wende". The transition will require significant investment in alternative sources of energy, as well as new ways of delivering it in an otherwise financially constrained environment. Nonetheless, new technologies and innovative business models are emerging that could facilitate the change. The purpose of the roundtable was really to discuss these issues with experts.

Every manager involved in running a business will be confronted with the consequences of the changes in the energy landscape in some way. What to prepare for, and how to do so in a sustainable way, was the focus of this roundtable.

Materials, pictures will be made available (restricted access) for participants only.
