Thu 16 Nov 2023 6:15 PM - 9:30 PM
Gather Round, Brunswick Square, BS2 8NX
Description
🔔 IMPORTANT UPDATE: We have updated the date for this event to the 16th of November🔔
Join us for the upcoming Enviral Inspires event, where we delve deep into the world of brand activism and how businesses can effectively engage their customers and community on their sustainability journey.
We'll have two brilliant speakers joining us to share their expertise.
The first is Kerry Thorpe, the Head of Communications for Ben & Jerry's
Renowned for their bold activism and delectable ice cream, Ben & Jerry's firmly believes in the power of ice cream to make a positive difference in the world. Their social mission is dedicated to addressing human needs and fighting injustices at local, national, and international levels, seamlessly integrating these values into their daily business operations. Back in 1988, Ben & Jerry's set a pioneering example by elevating their social mission to an equal status alongside their product and economic missions. This trailblazing movement has since flourished, giving rise to a unified set of principles and criteria that guide socially responsible businesses known as the 'B Corp' movement.
The second is Rory Atton, the visionary founder of Dewerstone, an ethical outdoor clothing brand that has set a new standard for sustainability and activism in the world of business.
Rory will share insights into his entrepreneurial journey, the transformative power of an activist mindset in business, and the vital role that companies can play in driving positive change, especially in the lead-up to COP 29. His story serves as a beacon of hope for those working in sustainability, communications, and the creative industries, offering tangible takeaways on how businesses can lead the charge in creating a more sustainable and equitable world.
Doors open at 6:15 pm, with the first speaker starting at 6:45 pm. Followed by networking and nibbles, a paid bar and a DJ.
Please note we can only issue two tickets per company.
