LiSN: Turning ESG Into Commercial Value

This session is for the people who need ESG to stand up commercially inside their organisation…not just in principle, but in budgets, business cases and leadership conversations.

We’ll focus on how to position ESG as a set of commercially viable decisions. What ESG initiatives are most likely to deliver value in the next 12–24 months. What’s worth funding now. What can confidently wait.

You’ll hear how teams are reframing ESG from a cost centre into work that supports revenue, risk management and smarter decision-making.

With nearly two decades of experience guiding more than 4,000 businesses through net-zero strategies, decarbonisation, materiality and ESG reporting, Cool Planet will give you clearer priorities, practical ways to prove ROI and stronger language for explaining ESG decisions to leadership in terms that actually land.
