Climate Action and Business

Presented by the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade — March 2, 2020

The Catalyst Business Alliance was pleased to be an event sponsor for Climate Action and Business, the first event of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade’s Sustainability Series.

The event featured businesses in our region that are champions for the environment, and explored the role business is playing in mitigating climate change and how being socially conscious can lead to a competitive edge. Catalyst member companies Arc’teryx Equipment, Nature’s Path Foods, and Vancity were represented among the featured speakers.

Meet the needs of today by ensuring that you can also meet the needs of tomorrow. Thanks @vancity @arcteryx, @PwC_Canada, @naturespath, and @PSF for a stimulating conversation on how being socially conscious can lead to a competitive edge. #ClimateAction Photos: @SaraBorckPhoto pic.twitter.com/EnB9RqpyjJ
