Eric Hespenheide, the GRI interim Chief Executive will join over 200 sustainability and reporting professionals in London, at Ethical Corporation’s 10th Annual CR Reporting and Communications Summit on 20-21 October 2017.

The focus of the session will be:

• Which topics, themes and aspects of your business will play a more prominent role in future reports
