On 25-26 June, over 300 C-level stakeholders from the industry, European institutions, and civil society organisations are expected to join the European Sustainable Industry Summit at the BNP Paribas Auditorium in Brussels. Together, they will define the path forward for the European industry, co-shaping the next generation of corporate sustainability practices needed to secure a resilient, inclusive, and environmentally responsible future.

Amidst a challenging international context, marked by wars, geopolitical tensions, the spread of misinformation, and the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven disruptive innovations, it is imperative for businesses to engage with their peers and key stakeholders. Supported by the European Investment Bank and platinum sponsor Coca-Cola in Europe, this Summit offers a platform for sustainability leaders to connect and share invaluable knowledge and strategies to boost the engagement and impact of the European industry with stakeholders inside and outside Europe.
