As companies face shifting regulations, geopolitical pressures, and economic uncertainty, some may feel tempted to scale back their sustainability efforts. But doing so would be short-sighted. The companies that will thrive are those that stay grounded in their core values while making the case that sustainability is critical to long-term resilience and profitability.

As BSR President and CEO Aron Cramer and Senior Advisor Steven Okun recently wrote in Eco-Business: “As sustainability faces scrutiny, businesses need to rethink their focus – but not their values.”

Join us for a timely and engaging discussion on how companies are navigating this evolving landscape—and explore the key sustainability issues shaping the future of the Asia Pacific region.
