For today’s employees, it is not enough for companies to just talk about values. People want to see real action and transparency, especially when it comes to sustainability.


This session is designed for business, HR, and people leaders who want to understand how the generational shift is reshaping culture, hiring, and retention. We will look at why credible carbon reporting and visible climate action matter for both your internal and external reputation, and how even small organizations can make progress that truly resonates.

Special Guest

Dr. Joanna L. Thompson, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at One Workplace, will share her perspective as a people leader guiding a multi-state company through the evolving expectations of today’s workforce. She’ll discuss how her team has turned employee energy around DEI and sustainability into practical, measurable change; both inside the organization and in their client relationships.

Expect a clear-eyed, real-world look at what it takes to build trust and momentum around climate action, and what leaders need to know to make progress that truly resonates with employees.

Who Should Attend?
