GAIA GAYA #11: SDGs and ESG: A Win-Win Partnership Between Businesses and NGOs

How can private sector businesses and NGOs collaborate, instead of confronting each other, for the greater good of achieving SDGs? Can businesses and NGOs build a win-win partnership for positive impacts on SDGs, creating and resulting in a more sustainable world?

GAIA GAYA #11 with Atty. Grip Bueta, a lawyer and legal consultant specializing in environment and climate change law and policy, and sustainable development law explores these questions.

Atty. Grip has worked with large corporations such as Ayala group, international organizations such as UNDP, ADB, large international NGOs such as WWF and Greenpeace, government agencies such as the Supreme Court and the Office of the Executive Secretary.  He has also worked and engaged with people in the marginalized sectors and community organizations across Asia and the Pacific.  

GAIA GAYA is excited to have a dialogue with Atty. Grip who can share with us the observations and insights he gained through his exposure to the very diverse perspectives of different stakeholders on environmental preservation, the climate crisis, and how we can all achieve a sustainable future.

Join GAIA GAYA #11 on November 28, 2020 3pm to 4:40pm on Zoom. Learn about the possibilities of a win-win partnership between businesses and NGOs.
