Mason Hardy Delivers Successful Breakfast Seminars at Leading Law Firm

‘Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability or the Creation of Enduring Value?’ was the theme for a series of well attended early morning breakfast seminars delivered by Mason Hardy at a leading UK Law firm. Following hot upon the heels of the well received keynote presentation to Leeds University Business School’s ‘Making Business Sense of Sustainability’ event, the seminars focused on the serious challenges facing resource constrained organisations in the 21^st century, and looked at where future commercial opportunities  may lie.

The presentations, delivered in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds were attended by a diverse range organisations from the private and public sectors and were hailed as a great success. With a backdrop of the uncertainty associated with the financial crisis and the need to adapt effectively to the unprecedented pressures on the supply chains for energy, food and water, Mason Hardy provided a business context for sustainability and focussed upon bringing strategies to life within organisations.  The Q&A sessions supported Mason Hardy’s experience that the business agenda is complicated by the impacts of changing consumption patterns and the anticipated consequences of climate change and, as such, sustainability should be treated as a business imperative rather than a discretionary option.  Speaking during an interview after the event, Simon Pringle focussed on the changing emphasis of corporate governance and the demands that this shift in expectation places upon the attention of boards.  He noted that “a focus on compliance is good at avoiding loss rather than creating benefit so understanding the potential for sustainability to unlock business opportunity and, consequently, deliver enduring value should increasingly be a point focus for well run boards.
