But how can businesses meaningfully influence change and move it from theory to action?

The answer often lies in technological innovation, and two companies that understand this inherently are Unilever and Salesforce, both of which have made commitments to grow their businesses while serving all of their stakeholders — including customers, partners, employees, communities and the environment.

In conversation with MediaLink Chairman and CEO Michael E. Kassan, Unilever CEO Alan Jope and Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff will discuss the role that technology can play in making our world a more sustainable and progressive place to live and do business.
