As public trust in global corporations falters, can business leaders still do well and do good?

Join Michael Posner – former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State and founding director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights – for a conversation on the role of business in a world shaped by climate change, tech disruption, and global instability.

From Nike to Meta, Coca-Cola to Walmart, Posner draws on decades of experience to explore how companies are responding to calls for greater accountability – and what must happen next to rebuild trust, protect workers, and ensure human rights aren’t left behind.
