Uniting Leaders for Positive Change: Concordia's Global Commitment to Sustainability with Matthew Swift, Co-Founder and CEO of Concordia

Imagine a place where world-renowned government officials, heads of state, C-suite executives, and leaders of nonprofits all come together to speak on the world's most pressing issues. It would be the event of the year! Well, I'm not talking in hypotheticals because this event is real, and it is called the Concordia Annual Summit. The Concordia Annual Summit is the largest and most inclusive nonpartisan forum alongside the UN General Assembly. Our guest on The Green Hour today is Matthew Swift, Co-founder and CEO of Concordia. Since its inception in 2011, Matthew has grown Concordia into the leading nonpartisan global affairs forum dedicated to forming cross-sector partnerships that address the greatest challenges and opportunities of our time. Hosting summits in New York City, Miami, Bogotá, Athens, Madrid, and London, Concordia actively bridges the divide between the business, government, and nonprofit communities. The speakers at the Concordia Annual Summit are distinguished. Among them are former US President George W. Bush, former US President Bill Clinton, current US President Joe Biden, and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. The presidents of Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ghana, Rwanda, and Liberia have also appeared, as have business legends Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia. Entertainers Jennifer Lawrence, Jameela Jamil, and Chris Paul have all spoken at the summit. Let's not forget Ivanka Trump, Lara Trump, First Ladies Jill Biden, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton.With a strong emphasis on sustainability, the Concordia Annual Summit has become the meeting ground of the world's trailblazers in sustainability. Each year, new discussions around sustainability are held with government officials, C-suite executives, and nonprofit leaders.
