SUMMARY:Sustainable Value Creation – A Core Topic for Board Members -  hosted by Russell Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability has moved in and out of boardroom priorities—first driven by climate urgency and ESG regulations\, more recently dismissed by some as “woke.” In this workshop\, we will make the case that sustainability can\, in fact\, become a powerful driver of long-term value creation. \nRealizing this value requires boards to understand the specific risks and opportunities of their business and to clarify how sustainability can be translated into customer value and competitive advantage. \nHans Reus (MBA’90D)\, Managing Director at Russell Reynolds Associates\, will again be our host. Jenny Wassenaar (bio below) will share her perspectives as a practitioner\, drawing on her experience at both board and executive level in developing sustainability as a source of value. \nFollowing a short introduction\, participants will work together on a concrete case. We will conclude by sharing lessons learned and discussing how these insights can be applied in your own board role. \nWe hope you will leave inspired and even better equipped to drive sustainable value creation in your organization. \nRegister HERE  (limited seats available) \nProgram:\n14.30h  Welcome\n15.00h  Program\n17.00h  Drinks\n18.00h  Closing \nAddress:\nRussell Reynolds Associates WTC Tower One\, 18th floor\nZuidplein 148\n1077 XV Amsterdam \nJenny Wassenaar is the Chief Sustainability Officer and Global Senior Vice President\, Research & Development at Trivium Packaging and a seasoned board-level advisor shaping sustainability\nstrategy and innovation in global industrial supply chains.\nAs a member of Trivium’s Executive Committee\, she partners with boards and investors to drive\nprofitable sustainable transformations across a USD 3B business with nearly 50 production locations and 7\,000+ employees\, producing more than 100 million recyclable metal packaging items daily.\nPreviously\, in leadership roles at Avery Dennison and Shell\, Jenny has led P&L organizations and\nglobal procurement portfolios. She also serves in multiple governance and advisory roles—including\nwith the UN Global Compact Netherlands (former Supervisory Board Vice Chair\, now Advisory Board Member)—and is recognized for elevating sustainability from compliance to a core lever of competitive and financial performance.
