In celebration of our 25th anniversary, BSR is hosting a global series of dialogues exclusively for senior representatives of our member companies and select partners.
In the last quarter-century, BSR has played a key role in shaping the field of sustainable business, focused on creating value by addressing society’s most pressing needs. The global economy is now in the middle of fundamental changes that are producing unprecedented opportunities and challenges for businesses everywhere. Join us for an open and honest conversation with your peers to discuss how we can redefine sustainable business and collaboratively fulfill our mission of creating a just and sustainable world.
Aron Cramer, President and CEO, BSR and Steve Howard, Co-Chair, We Mean Business and Outgoing Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA Group will share their perspectives and facilitate the discussion, along with other members of BSR’s leadership. This intimate dinner event will offer a unique opportunity to network with other sustainability decision-makers. With business leading the way, we look toward greater progress over the next 25 years.
ESG ratings can often raise questions and sometimes frustration among companies. We share five common dilemmas with key recommendations for business.
In June 2022, BSR and the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) collaborated on a joint climate scenarios workshop for NACD’s Climate Continuous Learning Cohort, a group of approximately 50 current and future corporate directors. The workshop demonstrated the potential and value of climate scenarios to navigate climate risks and opportunities for boards in an era of increased transparency and duty of care.
New laws, regulations, and standards for just and sustainable business mark the beginning of a new era. Here's why companies need to focus on both the spirit and the letter of these new laws—and how this can bring about increased ambition.
Boards of directors face a wide range of sustainability issues to oversee and ever more complex questions to address. Our newly launched and tailored advisory services are aimed at empowering executives and Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) to engage, inform, and activate boards on ambitious sustainability strategies.
The divisions caused by “The Great Fragmentation” are a barrier to achieving an economy that drives equitable and sustainable progress. To meet the needs of our fragmented world, business can reorient their efforts around four main objectives.
The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) recently released a set of sector-agnostic exposure drafts that form the first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). We share our response to EFRAG's public consultation.
BSR welcomes and has responded to the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)’s two exposure drafts released in March 2022, grounding our comments in 30 years of experience working with member companies.
The world is fragmenting politically, economically, environmentally, and culturally. BSR President and CEO Aron Cramer shares the six interlocking factors that are accelerating fragmentation and why they're significant for business.
