Bloomberg's Sustainable Business Summits bring together C-suite executives, influential investors, and innovative thought leaders to discuss how companies are using sustainability as a driver of business value. The summits leverage Bloomberg’s unrivaled business and markets expertise to convene conversations on the risks and opportunities around sustainability for corporate executives and innovative investors.

In 2018, Bloomberg’s fourth annual Sustainable Business Summit: New York will explore critical issues, including:

• How investors are using companies’ climate disclosures to make smarter long-term investment decisions
• Why investors are pushing companies to make diversity a key component of their board composition
• How the circular economy evolution is transforming the fashion industry
• How governors and mayors are advancing sustainable practices at the state and local levels
