Leadership in Business

Executive Council meeting – Members Only

15 January 2020 | 16:00 - 22:00

Global Sustainable Development Goals 2030

CEO’s of food companies like Emmanuel Faber – Danone, Alan Jope – Unilever and Feike Sybesma – DSM address the global challenges of a sustainable food system and use the economy of scale of their global businesses to make an impact by doing good. ‘Doubling the revenue, halving the footprint’ was the business goal of Unilever, set by its CEO Paul Polman in 2013. Leading by example, one of virtues of a true leader. Prof. drs. Philip Wagner will share his thoughts and insights on leadership in a business context, managing a business and addressing global challenges at the same time. ‘It’s not about purposefulness but it is about rightfulness’ and ‘On our way to a world, which I bigger than ourselves’ are examples of quotes by Philip Wagner, a thought leader and great speaker.

ABOUT

Many leaders in business have responded to the wake-up call of Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ in 2007. Over the last decade we have seen multinational, public-rated companies transforming their strategies from shareholder driven to purpose driven. And addressing the Global Sustainable Development Goals as adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015! For wat reason? Why would a stock rated company with anonymous shareholders welcome a future business at potential higher costs and a higher risk profile?

Examples of global challenges brought by CEO’s of leading food companies:

Venue

Delicious paintings

Tjalf Sparnaay has been working on an innovative oeuvre since 1987, constantly seeking new images that had never been painted before. His Megarealism is part of the contemporary international movement now known as Hyperrealism; he is now seen as one of the most important and trend-setting painters internationally in that style.
His iconic Fried Eggs have been used around the globe as reproduced images, and as inspiration for other paintings. Since those early days, he has become the leading contemporary food painter worldwide and is now an exhibiting artist at the renowned Louis K. Meisel Gallery in New York, the city where Photorealism / Hyperrealism originated in the 1960s and 1970s.
Until the 19th January 2020 the exhibition Delicious Paintings Tjalf Sparnaay will be on display at Museum Jan van der Togt in Amstelveen. IFFI EC members have the unique possibility to visit this exhibition after closing hours in a guided tour by the curator of the museum.
