Breakout # 6: ESG and Your Family Business–A Lasting Legacy Speaker

ESG and Your Family Business–A Lasting Legacy. A long-term mindset, sense of purpose and the importance of creating and sustaining a legacy are central to how family businesses define success. Given this purpose-driven mindset, how can family-owned and family-controlled businesses lead the way in accelerating the evolution of the sustainability and ESG agenda? How does this agenda impact the family legacy?

In this session we will explore these topics in a dialogue with Professor Robert Eccles and examine ESG through the family lens of an owner, operator, and investor.
