Ceres Responsible Business Program

X

In support of industry collaboration, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman have partnered with Ceres to offer a series of seminars to help their valued brand partners better understand how responsible business practices can help improve short-term performance, while creating long-term value. 

The Ceres Responsible Business Program is free for Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman brand partners and consists of four (4) live virtual sessions, where Ceres experts will guide participants through key concepts, resources, and guidance on how to take action.

Program Details

Each session will be 1-hour and scheduled roughly a month apart. Participants are expected to dedicate a total of 2-3 hours per month towards the program (inclusive of time spent in the live session). Our first cohort is expected to begin in May 2025 and conclude in August. 

The 4 sessions making up the program are: 

1. Thu May 15th @ 3pm - 4pm ET - Overview of the Responsible Business Landscape 

2. Thu June 12th @ 3pm - 4pm ET - Making the Business Case and Identifying Risks and Opportunities 

3. Thu July 17th @ 3pm - 4pm ET - Addressing Climate, Nature, and Social Impacts 

4. Thu August 14th @ 3pm - 4pm ET - Engaging Stakeholders and Disclosure

Participation

To encourage open dialogue, sessions will follow Chatham House Rule* and Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman representatives will not be present (outside of a brief welcome in the first session). Only the Ceres presentation portion of sessions will be recorded and accessible to participants, we strongly encourage participants to attend sessions live to experience and benefit from discussion and conversation with Ceres experts and peers. To manage attendance, we ask that brand partners register no more than two (2) participants from their organization. Our hope is to provide additional cohorts in the future to further serve brand partners. 

*The Chatham House Rule is an agreement between meeting participants that allows people to use the information from a discussion, but they can’t say who the speaker was, or what organization they’re from.
