This is the second event of the Theodore Papalexopoulos Sustainability Dialogues, a series uniting practitioners and academics to tackle urgent sustainability and business transformation challenges.
Amid climate risks, biodiversity loss, inequality, and misinformation-fueled culture wars, the need for evidence-based, actionable dialogue has never been greater. Too often, public debate stalls in words rather than deeds.
These Dialogues aim to change that—bridging management knowledge and action by engaging Greece’s business community with leading global scholars. Grounded in science, the series empowers decision-makers to adopt sustainable practices that go beyond compliance, shaping a resilient future where doing good is also good business.
