35 business, thought and policy luminaries to inspire sustainable global change

Prepare for a look at sustainability like you’ve never seen before. Some 35 speakers — ranging from the heads of fashion and banking giants, to rock-star philosophers, to forward-thinking policymakers – will gather over two days to explore how to put sustainability at the top of the world’s agenda.

IESE’s Global Alumni Reunion will take place Nov. 11-13 on IESE’s brand-new Madrid campus and online. Here’s a selection of the stellar line-up of speakers, and the big ideas they’ll be discussing:

• Pablo Isla, Chairman, Inditex, the world’s biggest fashion brand, on leading the apparel industry towards sustainability.
• Citi CEO Jane Fraser, the first woman to head a major U.S. bank, on banking for a just transition, which respects the climate, equity and inclusivity. She’ll be joined in the discussion by Jean Lemierre, Chairman, BNP Paribas.
• Michael Sandel, a star political philosophy professor at Harvard University, on the tyranny of merit and the need to work towards the common good, the subject of his latest best-selling book.
• Dame Vivian Hunt, Senior Partner of McKinsey and advocate for diversity in business, on making stakeholder capitalism work.
• Author John Elkington, Founder and Chief Pollinator at Volans, and María Neira, Director, Public Health and the Environment Department, World Health Organization, on regenerative economics, climate change and health.
