Join BSR, Futerra, Oxford Net Zero, and the We Mean Business Coalition to help companies recalibrate their next generation of climate targets so they are connected to core business priorities and positioned to achieve systemic climate impact. Through candid conversations with business peers, participants will explore the realities of implementation, including common barriers, practical trade-offs, and concrete examples of what works in practice.
Our discussion will focus on practical systems-change levers that can also advance your business goals, including how to operationalize your spheres of influence by transforming your products and services, climate finance portfolios, and policy and public engagement strategies.
Objectives:
- Create a trusted space for companies to collectively explore the decisions, challenges, and business value associated with system-level climate action.
- Introduce and contextualize the three Spheres of Influence as examples of system-change levers and demonstrate how they can deliver business value.
- Provide tangible, real-world examples from companies already taking system-level climate action.
- Foster open dialogue for companies and select external experts to reflect on how participating organizations can further their business strategies through systemic climate action.
- Introduce emerging Spheres of Influence KPIs for businesses and align on how to recognize and measure progress of these system-level changes and influence activities.
This event is designed for representatives from large companies, non-profit organizations, government, and academic institutions. Capacity is limited and we cannot guarantee admittance. This closed-door session will be held under Chatham House Rule.
