Invite audience & open for Q&A
Proof of benefit by assessing and measuring your performance. Boosting Better Business (your positive impact) is Better for the World. A Business likes to be well informed, have their status documented, their status measured and the improvements and impact tracked. Cause then it’s clear, it’s good for People Planet and your Business (Profit). SIB developed a program where Frontrunners can now Get an Intake, a status overview, sector information, advise and can start assessing and measuring your Sustainable Business Practice Impact (ON SDG’s). But there is not one way to Boost your Business. We will inspire you with various examples.

Let’s talk business and value. Business and positive impact. Business and Future Proof measuring of success. Stay ahead of the game and value all your capital.

It might sound complicated – natural capital, a price tag on nature, natural resources. But does it need to be an ‘airy’ story? We don’t think so. Nothing new – just the mindset to be(come) a future proof business. Positive impact on People, Planet, Profit. Scrap linear thinking, start circular thinking and assess your business through and through. Profit triple bottom line thinking is not new but still needs to become the new norm. It makes sense to look at the ‘true’ price of products and services as that will predict the sustainability of a business model (and lowers business risks). Any business operates in the space of nature, whether we talk about your office, the factory, transport, waste, raw materials, emissions, selling nature, resources.

Business of Biodiversirty by Everard (University of the West of England)

“These days, the business and sustainability agenda is fast-moving. Business finds itself absolutely on the front line of the battle being waged between humankind (as the dominant species on the planet) and the rest of the living systems and creatures with which we share the planet. This will be seen in retrospect as a collective aberration of monstrous proportions (we are, in effect, making war on ourselves), but it is taking us a very long time indeed to wake up to the consequences of this aberration.

The Business of Biodiversity nails that mis-prioritisation with splendid eloquence. Once business people come to see that biodiversity still represents the primary resource for all our business activities, then the business case for embedding biodiversity right at the heart of corporate strategy grows stronger by the day. By the same token, the societal case for putting biodiversity at the top of the agenda rather than treating it as an irritating afterthought becomes overwhelming.”

With Introduction by Arif Neky, Advisor, Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy, UNDP Kenya.

“Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.” (Peter Drucker, management guru)

Philips’ is endorsing this statement with leading the way with Sustainable Inclusive Business practice that is all in on SDG3. Why? What is the way forward and the ultimate success formula for businesses achieve?

In this session, we will discuss each in detail with real-life examples like MedSource and challenges from corporates, start-ups and finance providers how to contribute to SDG, and turn SDG’s into Business opportunities. 3 Ways to Reach the Next 3 Billion: Innovation, Agility and Finance.

Low- to middle income families have many unmet needs from food, water, shelter to sanitation, healthcare and livelihoods.  There are 3 billion people living on less than $2.50 per day—nearly half of the global population.  This market with its size and potential latent demand provides huge opportunity for business. The question for the private sector from start-ups, SMEs to corporates is how to reach this market sustainably. Businesses will need innovative business models, agility to respond to ever-changing market and financing for scale.

How business transformation pays off, makes you stay ahead of the game and guarantees you a sustainable business space.

Content: AgriBusiness is everyone’s business. It is our Food. The populations in constantly growing and the use of land for Agri has to be as efficient, healthy and sustainable as possible. In the day and age we are living in we know how to do it. But to bring all together is a journey. We have to decrease loss and waste, increase quality to guarantee good and sufficient business of Food. Optimizing, by scaling connecting, informing, partnering, transparency, innovating, storing are some of the buzz words when we look at responsibility solutions and Business opportunities.

Key findings on Food loss and Food safety were shared during various events, it’s time to discuss the solutions and opportunities.

Introduction: Kenyan Green Building Society

Moderator: Prof. Omenya

Content: Kenyan Green Building Society

Sustainable inclusive business is an imperative in the construction sector to achieve Kenya’s commitments toward COP21 targets, global sustainable development goals (SDGs), Vision 2030 in its current phase of the Medium Term Plan 3 (MTP3) for 2018 to 2022, the Green Economy Strategy Implementation Plan (GESIP), Government’s Big 4 Agenda, and devolution agenda under County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP) and County Spatial Plans.

The building and construction sector is of key importance to the development of Africa and the well-being of its population. Africa can fulfil the demand for a built environment that meets the needs of African people through the application of sustainable building and construction (SBC) concepts. SBC is important for the region and can offer potential to improve the health of people and the environment in surrounding areas as well as reduce the effects of poverty by upgrading unplanned settlements. To adapt an African maxim, those who adopt sustainable construction practices can shelter themselves from unpredictable consequences of unsustainable building and construction practices.

Activities falling within the ‘shelter’ category, specifically the building sector, account for some 40% of overall energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions, and a majority of material resource use. Accordingly, the sector offers a substantial emissions reduction potential at low or no cost. On this basis sustainable construction should become the rule and not the exception.

Challenges in the built environment are poised to be opportunities for SIB through green building practices:

• Management: Adresses the way a builing site and completed building is designed for ease of ood management, waste management, building commissioning as well as the development of building user guides. SIB opportunities emerge by inclusion of Facilities Management as a formal discipline in professional curricula.
• Indoor Environmental Quality: Assess the wellbeing an comfort of building occupants by addressing thermal comfort, pollutants, natural daylight and ventilation. Energy auditing already exists as a profession, however, this represents an enhanced skillset and market offering.
• Energy: Aims to reduce a buildings energy consumption, increase its efficiency and encourage the generation of power from alternative sources. Renewable energy offers the most entrepreneurial opportunity previously reserved for large public sector utilities.
• Transport: Aims to disincentivise motor vehicles use for single persons by encouraging use of public and alternative transport. Green transport opportunities through cycling, hybrid & electric vehicular transport are an important market gap to be explored.
• Water: Aims to target reduced use of potable water by encouraging specification of low flow items and the recycling of grey and black water. Scarcity of potable water and mainstreaming of wastewater treatment and rainwater harvesting at the microgrid and individual building level offer entrepreneurial opportunity. Blue economy opportunities abound.
• Materials: Reduce the use of virgin material and encourage the use of materials from sustainable sources. Across the built environment, green certified building materials are an opportunity for manufacturers to create a local green economy.
• Land use & ecology: Increase and protect our natural biodiversity. The built environment is heavily dependent on natural resources for its built environment, and responsible land use & ecology are imperative, and offer green economy opportunities.
• Emissions: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their impact on the environment. SIB opportunities in the production of sensors and monitoring equipment for emissions monitoring and control.
• Innovation: Recognise, reward and encourage innovation initiatives incorporated into building projects. Kenya is an innovator and initiatives from Kenya Climate Innovation Centre need to be applied locally by practitioners.
• Socio-economic: Moving beyond green to address aspects of social and economic importance by addressing skills transfer, employment creation and community benefits

Greening the construction sector through sustainable and inclusive business are imperative for Kenya to meet its SDG and COP 21 commitments, Vision 2030 agenda under Medium Term Plan 3 (2018 to 2022), the Green Economy Strategy Implementation Plan (GESIP), and the County Integrated development Plans (CIDP) and County Spatial Plans (CSP).

Partnerships are not all about Public Private collaborations. We recognize a trend where Businesses embrace responsible business practice in all elements of their business. Procurement for example. How to ‘source’ responsible, how to ‘recruit responsible’, how to close deals (clients) ‘responsible’. At the Annual Sustainable Inclusive Business Conference, you will find your like-minded Business Partners.

Based on the digital input in the plenary morning session: Needs, Expectations, Expertise we have insight in the different matches businesses are looking for and what kind of expertise we are able to connect.

A very interactive session – to match your need!
