Beyond reporting: driving reputational resilience Modern annual reports are incomplete without a sense of a company’s purpose and corporate governance outlook. This session focuses on the role of sustainability content in shaping corporate narrative and how it links to corporate value, talent attraction and reputational resilience. This will be considered with the knowledge that often this content sits in reports, however companies have not always unlocked this ROI. Session sponsored by MSL and Salterbaxter
