BSR at 30: The Future of Sustainable Business Is...

A celebration marking BSR’s 30 years of action and impact—and also to debate the road ahead.

The imperative to achieve sustainability objectives has never been clearer, or more urgent. We have lived through a series of intense and rapidly accelerating global shocks which have jolted society and business—from COVID-19 to the impacts of climate change to war and social conflict, the rollback of rights and democracy, and the looming risk of recession.

All of this is unfolding amid a roiling backlash against elements of our shared sustainable business agenda, from renewed claims of greenwashing to legislation challenging so-called “woke capitalism” to a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.

The Future of Sustainable Business Is...will tackle head-on the most pressing issues facing today’s sustainability leaders.
