09:30 – 09:45 Introduction and Welcome
- 09:30 Prof Simon Lilley, Interim Dean of the Lincoln International Business School
09:45 – 10:15 Keynote Presentation – Developing a Sustainable Mindset
The presentation will explore the concept of ‘a sustainable mindset’ as well as its practical implications and benefits. It will also present some ideas about the underlying causes of environmental and social unsustainability. The talk will describe the sort of transition that is required to move from present day unsustainability (e.g. climate breakdown) to a future state of sustainability. It will conclude by considering the practical steps that can be taken by individual businesses and business sectors to make the genuine transition to sustainability.
