LEADING figures from Unilever, Ella’s Kitchen and Positive Luxury have been unveiled as key speakers at a forthcoming conference which champions values-led businesses.
The executives will address the Impact Summit at SWG3 in Glasgow on May 20, when climate change, tech for good and sustainable fashion will be brought under the microscope.
The event is delivered by Edinburgh-based FutureX, which has secured the support of The Hunter Foundation, the philanthropic organisation set up by Sir Tom Hunter, for a third consecutive year.
This year’s speakers include Jonathan Gill, global sustainability director at Unilever, Mark Cuddigan, chief executive of Ella's Kitchen and Diana Verde Nieto, co-founder and chief executive of Positive Luxury. They follow in the footsteps of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Hey Girls founder Celia Hodson and Brewgooder’s Alan Mahon who are among those have spoken at the conference since 2017.
Zoi Kantounatou, co-founder of FutureX, said: "We are facing environmental, social and economic problems not isolation, but as an international community.
“Impact Summit is an open call to innovators from all sectors to join us in reimagining and rebuilding an inclusive and exciting future. I can't wait to welcome speakers and delegates alike to Impact Summit this May to inspire this transformed society.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
