Opening of the day by Annick Schmeddes and Paul van Ruiten. Explanation of the program and inventory of the background and wishes of participants.

• Formulate the goal of your trip

• Linking actions to ambition

• Triggers that have shaped thinking about sustainability
• Leading sustainability thinkers Elkington, Meadows, Gilding, Braungart and McDonough help make sense of current events

Making sustainability happen:

• Why and why not focus on sustainability?
• What stage is your organization in?

• Team setup with Simon Sinek (Golden Circle)
• Alignment of motivations in the organization according to Van Tulder (Erasmus University)
• Show leadership for effective market transformation

By changing the rules of the game, you also change the aim of the game. If monopoly is no longer about who gets the richest but who has the most impact, you have a completely different game. The rules of the game in the financial world are changing drastically. Sustainability is becoming an integral part of money matters. When the rules of the game of money change, it changes the world for businesses and consumers. These new rules are of course mainly written in Brussels (EU) and Frankfurt (ECB), but as a commercial bank you also have an important role in creating, interpreting, executing and reporting on these new rules. The impact on customers, employees, investors and society is enormous. The question is whether everything is moving fast enough to make the transition to a sustainable economy in time.

Help and crisis: seeking cooperation.
