CLOSED EVENT | MEMBERS ONLY

CSR Europe’s Future Lab on “The Art of Selling Sustainability” seeks to address how companies can enhance their competitiveness through sustainability both individually and collectively. The initiative aims to engage frontrunning CSR Europe members and Knowledge Partners in the exploration of the internal and external challenges that hinder value creation through sustainability, and to identify strategies to overcome these challenges. Members’ contributions to the Future Lab will complement the policy dialogue efforts made within the framework of the European CSO Network, as they will address: 

• Market conditions: regulations, incentives, taxation, trade, etc. 

• Internal challenges: private equity, marketing, sales, skills, etc. 

• External challenges: consumer behaviour, B2B requirements. 

During this first session of the Future Lab series, participants will be invited to share their experiences, both positive and negative, in achieving value creation through sustainability. An initial framework will be developed based on several corporate case studies, interviews, and the intelligence provided by the Knowledge Partner. The document will focus on unlocking value from corporate sustainability efforts while also highlighting key challenges along the way, including policy frameworks, the limited maturity of sustainability management within companies, supplier-customer relationships, and the awareness and willingness of end consumers in both European and global markets.
