Green Giants & Green Unicorns: Collaborating to Scale Sustainable Solutions

Join Nancy Mahon, Chief Sustainability Officer, The Estée Lauder Companies, Ann Tracy, Chief Sustainability Officer, Colgate-Palmolive, and Shara Ticku, CEO and Founder, C16 Biosciences in conversation with Freya Williams, author of Green Giants: How Smart Companies Turn Sustainability Into Billion-Dollar Businesses, as they discuss how Green Giants and Unicorns can collaborate to scale sustainability. Bringing together Green Giants, with their vast resources and reach, and Green Unicorns, the trailblazing startups with disruptive ideas, Freya will host a timely discussion about innovation and opportunity. 

We'll discuss the unique sustainability challenges facing big and small organizations and explore how different companies navigate competing objectives, operational obstacles, and short-term economics. We will explore how ideas can blossom, cross-pollinating to forge solutions that defy the status quo -- in the face of a clear mandate to commit to sustainable solutions. Networking, drinks and snacks will precede and follow the panel.
