ESG has become one of those terms that gets used constantly and understood properly by almost no one at board level.

Done well, it's not a compliance exercise or a marketing line. It's a genuine driver of resilience, investment appeal and long-term value. Done badly, it's a tick-box that fools nobody, least of all the investors and customers boards are trying to impress.

Join VirtualNonExecs for the next exclusive Boardroom Diaries breakfast event as we bring together founders, NEDs and ESG specialists to explore what meaningful ESG oversight actually looks like at board level, and why it's ultimately about building a business that lasts.

Through an honest panel discussion and audience Q&A, we'll unpack how boards can move past box-ticking and build businesses that are genuinely sustainable, responsible and built for the long term.

Topics will include:

-Why ESG is a value driver, not just a compliance requirement

-What investors are really scrutinising when it comes to ESG

-The board's role in setting genuine sustainability strategy

-Avoiding greenwashing and empty commitments

-Measuring impact without drowning in metrics

-Attracting talent and capital through credible ESG practice

-Practical first steps for boards starting from scratch

Hosted by VirtualNonExecs, the room will bring together founders, CEOs, NEDs, Chairs and business leaders from across the North West for a practical conversation about a topic too many boards still get wrong: what it really takes to build a business that lasts.
