View Agenda

Corporate sustainability leaders – Chief Sustainability Officers and equivalent – play an increasingly critical role in navigating today’s sustainability and just transition challenges amidst uncertain times.

They integrate sustainability into the company’s business strategy, financial performance, and market responses; quantify sustainability impacts; transform investors’ expectations and policy regulations into opportunities; develop a compelling sustainability narrative that connects to the company’s purpose and success.

With their unique blend of leadership, strategic thinking, technical knowledge, and collaboration with the CEO and other key departments (e.g. operations, supply chain, HR, finance, marketing, communication, legal, tax), CSOs and equivalents are best placed to deepen dialogue with policymakers and stakeholders to achieve a supportive and predictable policy landscape.

Are you the sustainability leader (CSO or equivalent) eager to mature your sustainability function balancing value creation with growing regulations and policies? Do you have a strong belief that business and EU engagement is necessary to transform the way businesses operate in planet boundaries? Do you want to engage with the European Commission to make regulations more effective, efficient, and easier to implement?

Join this Summit session, offering a unique safe place in Europe to learn, share with peers, and engage with the EU Commission 2024-2029.



JOIN THIS MEETING TO:

  • Learn from the experience of your peers and explore new collaborations to integrate sustainability as a driver for business & societal transformation, value creation and long-term competitiveness.

  • Reignite a dialogue with EU authorities, to make sustainability policies, regulations and alliances more effective, more efficient and easier to implement.

  • Build the foundation of a European CSO Network that will focus on the critical "S" of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors.
