By learning the tools to incorporate sustainability considerations into their decision making processes and ensuring sustainability is seamlessly integrated into business strategy and investment decisions, senior financial executives can contribute uniquely and significantly to the long-term success and resilience of their organisations, and the sustainability of the Irish food, drink and horticulture sector as a whole.
