Registration

If you’re attending London Climate Action Week, join us for an evening member reception to engage with BSR experts and share insights with your fellow members.

This small, senior-level gathering will bring together sustainability leaders to connect with peers, and reflect on key themes emerging from the week.

Attendees also will be the first to learn the results and key insights from BSR and GlobeScan’s 2026 State of Sustainable Business survey, our global poll of more than 130 corporate leaders.

Our research explores questions including:

How sustainability is viewed by leadership within companies
Critical drivers of corporate sustainability programs
How company ambition on sustainability objectives is evolving
How companies are managing climate risk
And much more…

We hope to see you in London!
