The speakers will tackle the issues of Social Responsibility of Business in the emerging economic recovery phase after the pandemic lockdown. Working with a "New Normal" attempting to improve the environment to match the expectations we have after the lockdown. The lockdown brought cleaner air, lower fossil fuel use and other potential silver linings to an otherwise dreadful situation. Who is supposed to take responsibility for changing the responses of society? Will it result in a more liberal or less liberal political framework, given the pressures we will face dealing with possibly lower environmental standards as a result of ongoing Brexit negotiations.
