The Responsible Business Summit West 2019 | Ethical Corporation | 9 October 2019 | Hilton San Diego Mission Valley, 901 Camino del Rio S, San Diego, CA 92108, United States

We’re in the midst of transformation. The fourth industrial revolution brings with it social and economic upheaval, coupled with the necessity to reduce global warming to 1.5C means all stakeholders are required to pull in one direction, with grave consequences for failure.

This also presents an opportunity for business to innovate, invest and collaborate. The opportunity to utilise technologies and strategies which accelerate the move to a sustainable, inclusive economy, conserve the natural environment and deliver business success. Grasping this chance presented whilst simultaneously responding to investor demand to be more transparent on ESG related risks - no straightforward task.

The Responsible Business Summit West will challenge 200+ CEOs, sustainability leaders, Investors, Government representatives and NGOs to show how they’re going to deliver the blueprint for the future economy; taking customers, employees, suppliers and communities with them in the process. Over two days you will learn how to move from dialogue to action on the key risks and opportunities that lie ahead.

200+ Sustainability Leaders Meet to Discuss Delivering the Clean, Inclusive Economy

What you’ll learn at the Responsible Business Summit West

• Lead the change: Explore the technologies and innovations that will accelerate the move to a sustainable economy and conserve the natural environment
