What Does Building Back Better Really Mean For My Business?
We are all hearing a lot about the idea of building back better from the impacts of the pandemic. Companies have questions about what a clean and inclusive economy looks like and what it means to the strength and recovery of my business. In this session we will talk about the changing expectations of businesses post pandemic and in light of new realities impacting the economy, environment and commercial operations of all size and scale in Atlantic Canada.
Participants will leave our session with:
-
a better understanding of the opportunities for their business in the clean economy,
-
an understanding of inclusive growth and the potential and implications for business; and
-
a starting place for how to control supply chain risks and build resiliency into their business operations, no matter the size.
