The Institute of Directors in Ireland, the Institute of Directors in Northern Ireland  and the Creative Futures Academy are joining forces to launch the Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate initiative. This cutting-edge initiative will bring together Chartered Directors and CFA students, to co-create dynamic and creative solutions that can meaningfully address the complex environmental and social challenges that we currently face and drive climate action.

At the official launch on Thursday 30th November, we were delighted to be joined by Oonagh Buckley, Secretary General, Department of the Environment, Climate & Communications; Caroline Spillane CDir, Chief Executive Officer, Institute of Directors in Ireland and Peter O’Shea, Head of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs, ESB; along with Chartered Directors from across Ireland.

Through the Creative Ireland Initiative and the Shared Island Fund, the Chartered Director Communities on the Island of Ireland have been identified as having significant potential to bring influence to bear in boardrooms across Ireland and to assist with the challenge presented to us by the climate emergency.

Throughout 2024, participants will follow an innovation process based on design thinking principles, that combines collaborative workshops, expert sessions and peer mentoring and will deliver a series of roadmaps for change.

Creative Boardroom is now seeking Chartered Directors participation in the project. Find out more HERE
