Sustainability Summit 2023 | The Conference Board (TCB) | 13 July 2023 | TBA, New York, NY, USA

We are at the threshold of a fundamental transition in business toward a more sustainable and low-carbon future.

This “sustainability transition” promises to match the scale and scope of the digital transformation, which will require significant financial investments with the potential to generate substantial returns. As consequential for business, society, and the environment and even more urgent.

Companies that view this transition as a source of business opportunity, and not just as risk or regulatory headache, will be best positioned to succeed. But what does this transition look like? What is the role of business and the public sector, and how will financial burdens fall on each of them respectively?

To succeed, companies must proactively adapt by viewing this revolution as an opportunity – not just a source of risk – and developing new products, services, and relevant and innovative business models, innovative ways of operating, greater workforce capabilities, and better ways of communicating their story to investors, customers, regulators and other stakeholders. How will your company succeed?

The Summit: Thriving Amid the Global Energy Transition will be the premier gathering of corporate executives and other leaders in 2023 who are focused on finding growth opportunities in the transition that lies ahead.

The Conference Board and world-renowned experts will share the latest data and trusted, timely, and actionable insights.

Business leaders from across industries - government leaders from the US and elsewhere - and corporate executives across the finance, strategy, sustainability, human capital, legal, government relations, communications, marketing and other functions - will hear from each other on how they are planning for this new era, performing in ways to stay ahead of the competition, and collaborating for impact.
