From early childhood to the climate crisis: Annual luncheon during the 78th UN General Assembly
Tuesday, September 19, 2023
Education impacts every aspect of a business’s ecosystem and success in the global economy. Amid tight labor markets and shifting modes of working, companies will need to invest strategically in education initiatives, starting with early childhood education, that future-proof their workforce and contribute to a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Investment in education is a tool for businesses to achieve long-term value creation, better financial outcomes, and improved Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance.
