The Corporate Responsibility Committee of the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce convened its 8^th Sustainable Talks initiative, Change for Climate & Biodiversity in the Urban Environment, on May 26, 2022. Sustainable Talks is a series of single subject discussions aiming to create a constructive dialogue platform on the integration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the Greek business reality.

AmChamGR has built a solid record of promoting values-driven and purpose-driven business as the unquestionable contemporary standard for corporations that not only understand the critical issues of sustainability (economic, social, environmental) related to their operation, but also walk the extra mile for addressing challenges of global proportions for the common benefit for people and planet.

Within this context, the work of Amcham’s Corporate Responsibility Committee sheds light onto contemporary business strategies and practices that connect business with societal purpose, that connect business with the global Vision for Sustainability. Prominent speakers led an inspirational web discussion on how business and the public sector can drive change in the urban environment.

Key points of discussion included: the financed impact of the banking sector in the urban environment, the change in urban policy for climate change & the role of business, natured-based solutions in the change for culture for the urban environment, international best practices for enabling sustainable living.

The Hellenic-American Chamber of Commerce, the President and the members of the Board of Directors, in a special event overlooking the Attic sky and Athens, honored the US Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt, for his valuable contribution to consolidating the strong bond between in the two countries, the promotion of major investment initiatives and its warm friendship and support in our country. At the same time, the inseparable ties with the Chamber were underlined, which will continue from the new position of Mr. Pyatt as US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources.
