How it works

  • Quarterly virtual roundtables and in-person salons facilitated by HotTopics.
  • Dedicated workstreams on awareness/education, metrics and KPIs, technical guidelines, and policy engagement.
  • Peer-to-peer resource development, including best practice guidelines, policies, and action checklists.
  • Case studies showcasing successful ESG leadership in technology.

 

Why Join the Supergroup?

In this ESG Supergroup, you'll find yourself in the company of transformational leaders, working as one collective to move the information technology industry forward, towards a greener, more diverse, equitable, inclusive and sustainable business world.

Our bi-monthly online meetings, moderated by the experienced Doug Drinkwater, are designed to facilitate candid discussions, collaborative problem-solving and drive solutions for the wider information technology industry.
