Ibec S in ESG Summit 2023 | Ibec | 29 November 2023 | InterContinental Dublin, an IHG Hotel, Simmonscourt Rd, Dublin, D04 A9K8, Ireland

This is a unique think tank style event that will bring together Ireland’s top CEOs and business leaders to debate the role of corporate leadership in society. The growth and resilience our economy has shown in recent years has positioned Ireland as a prime location for companies to set up and grow with resounding success. Ireland’s reputation as a trusted place to do business entices international investment and attracts leading talent from around the world to live, work and thrive. The Summit will convene a panel of academic experts and business leaders to share insights on the social framework underpinning Ireland’s economy. With a laser focus on the ‘S’ in ESG, we will examine the societal issues causing polarization in Ireland and beyond, and discuss why at a point of inflection, fostering social cohesion and stability is imperative for long-term prosperity. At Summit we will ask if business leaders should have an active leadership approach in addressing societal issues and delivering long-term social value? Can business afford to take a wait and see approach with rising pressure from stakeholders to do more on economic and societal equality? Or can they get ahead to be part of the solution?
