What it takes… to be a sustainable business
You are cordially invited to an event co-hosted with the University of Surrey as part of the What it takes series, focusing on what it takes to be a sustainable business. In this event, we speak to Surrey alumna and Global Sustainability Director at Diageo, Dr Kirstie McIntyre, as she shares her own considerable experience in the field.
Dr McIntyre, EngD, Mechanical Engineering, 1999, will talk about what it takes to move industries, build a sustainability function and launch a decade long corporate roadmap to the 2030 SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals), all done in the remote world we currently live in.
Tim Jackson, Professor of Sustainable Development at the University of Surrey and Director of CUSP, will host this event which will include a Q&A session after the presentation. If you would like to submit a question before the event, please email alumnievents@surrey.ac.uk.
