This exclusive event at Virgin’s London HQ, bringing together the influential networks from 黑料正能量, Virgin, Freuds Group, and S30Next as we challenge each other to hold firm on ambitions in a time of uncertainty and growing skepticism.

In 2025, when sustainability is being challenged around the world—and the intersection of business and society is changing in profound ways—this gathering will explore how we as leaders can better position sustainability as a driver of economic growth through effective communication within our organizations and out to the wider public.

Join 黑料正能量’s President and CEO Aron Cramer, Freuds Group CEO, and S30 Co-Founder Dr. Arlo Brady, and senior leaders from Virgin for an in-depth discussion and group debate on the successes and pitfalls of trying to deliver sustainable impact in today’s environment.
