The Club hosted an inspiring conversation on climate solutions that cannot wait. In collaboration with the LBS Alumni Energy Club, LBS Alumni Sustainability Club, and Oxford Business Alumni Network, we welcomed David Benettar, co-author of "What Can We Do by Friday?" to explore how we can inspire people and organisations to drive meaningful sustainability action right now.
David, former Chief Sustainability Officer of The Warehouse Group (Oxford MBA 2025), shared with Elizabeth Joseph (LBS MBA 2023) strategies for motivating sustainability leadership in a world where action is urgently needed.
