Bryan Dean Forum
A New Economy: Regenerative Principles to Unlock a Sustainable Future
The Bryan Dean Forum on October 9th will feature speakers from EY's New Economy Unit (NEU). We will hear from NEU Head Anastasia Roussou and Global Climate Change and Sustainability Services Leader Matthew Bell in Greece and the UK, respectively. They will present the key messages from NEU's latest report, "A New Economy." The report explores the systemic barriers to achieving globally desired sustainability outcomes and the principles that can unlock the transition to a regenerative economy. Because the core audience of the NEU is business professionals, it focuses on how the principles can guide businesses in critically examining their business models to accelerate and adapt to this transition.
This virtual presentation will be held at 3:00 p.m. in Whitinger Building Room 144 and includes a facilitated Q&A session with the presenters. Although our presenters will be virtual, faculty and students will gather to share their experiences of this thought leadership from EY. As always, following the Q&A will be a delightful reception in our lovely Hall of Fame conference room.
