It was with great pleasure that Sustainable Growth Associates (SGA) participated in the launching event of the promising Circular and Sustainability Hub of launching partners Planetiers and renowned Universidade Catolica Portugal - Porto. The Insure.hub event was well-visited on site and online and was covered in various channels incl. Portuguese tv (https://lnkd.in/dRdaiXcW)
After inspiring words from rector Isabel Capeloa Gil and pro-rector Isabel Braga da Cruz, Rüdiger Röhrig and Edwin Janssen kicked-off with 2 short presentations on ‘Strategic Sustainability Leadership in Europe’ with great commentary from inspiring business leaders Micaela Pires Cabral and Ana Salomé Martins.
We then experienced contributions from hub initiators Manuela Pintado and João Pinto and other external whole-system sustainability thinkers & doers incl. Gunter Pauli, John Fullerton, Tom Bregman , John Melo with special thanks to Gunter for his inspiring cases and kind words and Antonio Vasconcelos for bringing all of this together!
We enjoyed the heartfelt hospitality and energy of our kind hosts, the presence of relevant business leaders and the vibrant energy and initiatives around this promising colllaborative to accelerate business transformation in the larger Porto region. Great (female!) leadership at the university and especially the faculty of bio-technology and business school. Looking forward to our future engagements!
Thanks also to the team at Sustainable Growth Associates (SGA) for the collaborative efforts on the study with special mention of Jan-Peter Schacht (lead co-author), Malcolm Forsyth, Heiko Mitzkus, Thomas Brugger, Prathiba Devadas
