If you want to grow your business you have to be ready for what comes next. The role of the BSCC is to prepare business for “the today”, but also get ready for the future. That’s why we have our Horizon series. This is a series of events that are forward leaning, often tackling topics that leadership teams are not quite ready for , but nonetheless know are critical for future success. The Sustainable Business Summit next week will focus on the loss of natural capital , also often talked about as biodiversity loss . I am not a sustainability expert , but working with those that are in the planning of this event , it is clear to me that very soon, loss of biodiversity will become the topic of discussion everywhere. The BSCC Horizon Series - getting you ahead of the game. Join us on 14 May
