About this Event

Humanity has been adept at developing industry and technology that has made us incredibly wealthy when compared to the pre-industrial era. But these technologies also create substantial harms and injustices within the very societies they are designed to prosper. What are these harms and injustices, what are their causes, and what is the appropriate response? This session will incorporate a Q&A panel, including the Dean, and the cathedral's Christian Aid representative, Paul Robert.

Staffan Engström was for many years a corporate executive and strategist in companies with multi-billion turnover, playing a key role in sustainability initiatives and serving on the Midlands Business in the Community advisory board. He has been a member and chair of Worcester Cathedral's Eco Group, and is a member of the cathedral chapter.
