Panel Discussion: The Social Side of Sustainability

While much of the ESG conversation often focuses on environmental commitments, the social dimension is equally vital for building a sustainable future. This session explores how technology vendors are embedding social value into their operations—expanding access to digital skills, creating opportunities in emerging markets, and fostering inclusive growth. By looking at real-world examples of vendors making significant strides, we’ll examine how purposeful action in the “S” of ESG can deliver both business resilience and transformative impact for communities worldwide.
