Speaker series event explores innovative methods to improve business profitability

The City of Kitchener, in collaboration with the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre (WRSBC), hosts a free monthly speaker series called SDG Talks. The series explores the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and how we can create a more socially and environmentally sustainable planet. This year’s theme, Purpose and Profit, focuses on helping businesses embed sustainability into their core operations and strengthen their bottom line while creating meaningful community impact.   

Join us for our upcoming talk on Monday, February 23, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the SDG Idea Factory, 2 King St. W., Kitchener.   

This talk will be led by Dr. Rajul Singh, a sustainability practitioner and educator whose mission is to spread awareness about the SDGs as a roadmap for sustainable and regenerative development in institutions, businesses and communities. The talk will explore: 

  • A systematic approach for applying the SDG lens to business practices 

  • How the Triple Bottom line approach can drive long-term value creation for businesses 

  • Practical steps to maximize business profitability through business model integration 

Join us for an afternoon of thoughtful conversation, networking, and light refreshments. All are welcome to attend this free event but registration is recommended.
