New British Chamber Working Group Addresses Sustainability Today & Tomorrow

The British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) for Luxembourg's newly established working group dedicated to "Sustainability in Business" held its first event at the British Ambassador’s residence on the morning of Thursday 5 May 2022.

In the presence of British Ambassador to Luxembourg Fleur Thomas, BCC members and guests discussed a wide range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) subjects related to "People, Prosperity and Planet" within the framework of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

These included many topic areas from the risk of greenwashing in the financial services industry and the importance of driving diversity and inclusion to the role of regulations and governance, as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR). 

Providing information, connecting the different communities already addressing a wide variety of sustainability related needs and educating the next generation were seen as further key areas of importance in driving sustainability forward. 

The BCC said that it was thrilled to see so much engagement with the topic and that it looked forward to offering BCC members and other interested parties even more events around this important topic area.
