Shaping the Next Generation of Transition Plans: Integrating Climate, Nature and Social Agendas

St Pancras, London

June 23, 2026

10 am - 12 pm BST

As climate, nature, and human rights risks become increasingly interconnected, companies need transition plans that move beyond silos and support better strategic decisions. Integrated transition planning offers a practical way to align sustainability priorities with business strategy, governance, capital allocation, and implementation.

During this interactive peer-learning session, co-hosted by BSR and the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA), we will examine real-world trade-offs, prioritization challenges, and the internal governance needed to ensure integration transitions from planning to action.

We will also introduce WBA’s provisional Integrated Transition Assessment framework and invite your feedback on how integrated frameworks can provide clarity, reduce duplication, and support decision-useful transition strategies. Join us to gain practical insights, peer perspectives, and concrete ideas to advance integration within your own organization.
