Purpose or Performance? Business as a Force of Nature: Simeon Rose & Erika Clegg

Companies are often keen to talk about their values, but less keen to enact them. How can businesses do better? Author and thought leader Erika Clegg (Junk Values) will discuss how the language of purpose and values has been hollowed out by corporate culture and performative behaviour, and how to reclaim it to bring about real change. In 2022, Faith in Nature became the first company to appoint Nature to its board, redefining the meaning of corporate responsibility. Its brand director Simeon Rose(Natures Boardroom) will give us a behind-the-scenes look into this groundbreaking initiative, and explain how other companies can follow suit.
