Just Europe Summit 2024
5 December 2024 [online]
We are happy to introduce the inaugural Just Europe Summit, hosted by Living Future Europe, the first gathering of its kind dedicated to advancing social equity and transparency in the European building and manufacturing sectors.
This summit celebrates the adoption of the International Living Future Institute’s Just Label—a transformative certification tool that drives social justice, equity, and accountability in organizations by focusing on areas such as diversity and inclusion, equitable pay, employee well-being, and community stewardship.
By creating a framework for voluntary self-disclosure and fostering transparency across industries, the Just Label is helping organizations lead with integrity and establish equitable, ethical practices that resonate with European values.
Join us in building a future where workplaces not only perform better but also contribute meaningfully to a just society.
The event is also a special celebration of LFE's 5th anniversary ! We are looking forward to meeting you online :-)
