(at the South Campus Auditorium)

Join us for a keynote talk and discussion with André Hoffmann, Vice-Chairman of Roche’s Board of Directors, and co-author Peter Vanham, as they introduce their new book, The New Nature of Business: The Path to Prosperity and Sustainability. In this thought-provoking work, Hoffmann and Vanham explore why the traditional business model is faltering and offer a blueprint for creating “sustainable prosperity.” Through compelling case studies, they demonstrate how companies that embrace change—balancing profit with social and environmental impact—are not only surviving but thriving.

Key insights from the book discussion will include:

• An inside look at Roche's sustainability practices as described by Hoffmann and other senior leaders, offering valuable lessons from a global healthcare giant.

• Case studies of pioneering organizations like INSEAD, IKEA, Harley Davidson, and Holcim, showcasing how visionary leadership and a holistic perspective can drive meaningful success.

• Strategies for addressing trade-offs and externalities in business, from identifying impactful metrics to integrating human, social, and natural capital alongside financial returns.

Praised by leaders and changemakers worldwide, The New Nature of Business is an essential read for business executives, entrepreneurs, and those guiding corporate strategy in today’s complex landscape.
