BSR will host a small breakfast discussion for our member companies and select partners in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  

Sustainability topics have gone from obscure to ubiquitous. With everyone talking about sustainability, how can companies keep up with the latest practices and—more importantly—distinguish themselves as bold leaders in business, society, and communities?

Join event host Fossil Group and other fellow regional BSR members for an open dialogue centered on this year’s BSR Conference theme: “Be Bold.” The session will also feature brief insights from AT&T. We’ll discuss what "bold" looks like now, how today’s “bold” may become tomorrow’s baseline, and what companies are doing to drive innovation in bold sustainability leadership. The session will include a BSR briefing on emerging sustainability topics as well as a discussion among participants representing a range of industry sectors. This event will offer a unique opportunity for networking and inspiration with peers.

The challenges of building a sustainable future are immense and will require collaborative, innovative thinking from all sectors of society. There are substantial opportunities to build inclusive, sustainable economies through business leadership and partnerships, but we know that we won’t achieve these goals unless we think big—and think bold.
