/ October 24-26, 2017
It’s BSR’s 25th anniversary year, and profound change is shaping sustainable business. Three developments are flowing together to shape how we and our member companies think about the best ways to meet this moment. First, we have a clear roadmap for what a just and sustainable world actually means, thanks to the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. Second, every business is experiencing disruption and asking new questions about its offerings, customers, competitors, and business models. Finally, political volatility is presenting a very direct challenge to long-held sustainability goals.
These companies are at the nexus of the climate change debate, and many also have developed advanced thinking on sustainable communities, transparency, ethics, and social inclusion.
At this BSR Conference 2017 side event co-hosted with the UN Foundation and the Business Council for the UN, we will launch a new guide for business to support health and empowerment of women.
Institutional investors are increasingly vocal about long-term value; companies can proactively engage and attract these investors who value ESG commitments.
BSR is a global nonprofit organization that works with its network of more than 250 member companies and other partners to build a just and sustainable world. From its offices in Asia, Europe, and North America, BSR develops sustainable business strategies and solutions through consulting, research, and cross-sector collaboration.
