Top EU leaders, CSOs, and industry stakeholders to gather in Mechelen for a two-day strategy summit redefining sustainability and business value.
Themed “Turning Sustainability into a Business Advantage”, this landmark gathering will convene over 200 Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs), senior executives, EU policymakers, and civil society leaders to examine how sustainability strategies can deliver innovation, resilience, and long-term value creation across European markets.
The Summit comes at a moment of strategic urgency. With regulatory frameworks evolving and global market dynamics shifting, the need for coordinated action across business, government, and society has never been more critical. Attendees will explore how ESG can power competitiveness through stronger policy integration, supply chain transformation, and inclusive economic models.
A cornerstone of the Summit will be the publication of the CSO Network’s Discussion Paper on Better Regulation and Implementation. This new publication builds on CSR Europe’s existing Business Vision and Actionable Recommendations report to support effective, business-informed regulation.
