EuroNetworking 2024

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 

EuroNetworking will take place on October 10th 2024 from 4:30pm to 7:30pm

Sustainability transcends regulatory compliance to offer businesses a profound opportunity for innovation, competitive advantage, and growth. As global attention on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues intensifies, companies of every size are discovering the strategic benefits of integrating sustainability into their core operations. This shift is not merely about adhering to the latest regulations set forth by entities like the European Union and the United States; it's about recognizing sustainability as a catalyst for transformative change.

At this year's EuroNetworking Event, our panel of experts will first delve into the nuances of ESG regulations in the EU and the US, assessing their impact on business operations both globally and locally. The discussion will then pivot, exploring how businesses can transcend compliance, using sustainability as a strategic lever to redefine market position, drive innovation, and unlock new avenues for growth.

Attendees will leave with an understanding of the regulatory landscape, sustainability as a foundational element of business strategy, and tactics to implement sustainability that can create value for their organization.

Join us to explore the opportunities that sustainability presents, empowering your business to lead with purpose and achieve sustainable success in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

The panel discussion will be followed by a networking session featuring delicious international food and drink.

This event is co-organized by the French American Chamber of Commerce Rocky Mountain, the German American Chamber of Commerce Colorado, the World Trade Center Denver, the Latvian Chamber of Commerce Colorado, and the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce Colorado. Special thanks are extended to Geotech for generously offering the use of their space.
