Sustainability is surely a good idea. It promotes the common good by ensuring that people, resources and the environment, are developed and nurtured for the benefit of all.

• But how is this implemented in the workplace in practice?
• Why should a private company be concerned with the common good?
• Who ultimately pays for and benefits from sustainability?

Money has come to play an inordinately important role in today’s world, and the way in which we relate to it has far reaching repercussions that are not always self-evident. The allocation of money drives, intentionally and unintentionally, all aspects of society.  How we create, use and live with money has gone beyond its utility function to have a long-term impact on the structure and fabric of society affecting  wealth distribution and inequality as well as debt burden around the world.

6-8 pm

Where can we look to take positive actions for a brighter future?

Many respond with fear and anxiety in the face of current changes in climate and when looking ahead to the inevitable changes that are to come. We are bombarded with messages that we have to change the way we live, while acutely aware that changing to energy saving light bulbs is a drop in the ocean. A desire to help, but feeling disempowered, is leading to a dwindling hope for our future.

2.30 to 4.30 pm
