KEY TAKEWAYS FROM THESE EXPERIENCES

1. What does Business Sustainability mean for your Company ?

2. Don’t let the details get lost in the big picture

Be curious, a small thing could be the indicator of a big risk and also opportunity

Every Company has its own DNA and direction

3. Tough times can bring innovative solutions

During times of crisis each Function should share the Company`s aspirationto save resources and be more effective
