Fortune Impact Initiative 2023 | Fortune | 12 September 2023 | The St. Regis Atlanta, 88 W Paces Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305, USA

Increasing polarization around the globe and deteriorating trust in politicians and the media are driving a public outcry for industry to address the most crucial challenges of our time. The task is a difficult one for ESG leaders: Income inequality, health care access and addressing climate change are all issues that people want businesses more involved in solving.

Titles will include President/CEO, Head of Corporate Responsibility, Chief Sustainability Officer, Chief Development Officer, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officers, and senior titles in Corporate Responsibility, Ethics, Operations, and Compliance.
