Business leaders grapple with a common challenge: how to align ESG strategies with shareholders’ expectations. The popular view among businesses is that prioritising ESG issues can lead to value creation, and may include benefits such as improved risk management, maintaining a licence to operate, effective cost management, or exploring new revenue streams. However, a dilemma arises when certain ESG initiatives have a lengthy return horizon, posing financial challenges in the short term. Investing in such initiatives may result in pushback from investors and short-term share price fluctuations, while abstaining from investment could lead to substantial long-term losses.

During the WEF Annual Meeting at Davos, InTent and its strategic partners is hosting stimulating discussions and agenda-setting events on business education, nature-positive practices, sustainable business models and responsible finance. With the Sustainable Development Goals as its framework of reference and aligned with the global imperative to accelerate sustainable solutions, InTent is gathering decision-makers, business representatives, academia and civil society to share solutions, confront opinions, seal partnerships for action and ultimately help reshape the world economy for the well-being of people and nature. The annual meeting is a steppingstone for InTent as it will seek to not only connect and mobilise stakeholders, but also inspire them to take concrete action during the course of 2024.
