Finding your way through ESG

‘’ESG is no longer a trend—it's the blueprint for long-term success.’’

Content
After years at the forefront, ESG and sustainability are undergoing a significant transformation. As regulatory momentum slows and scrutiny intensifies, the conversation is evolving. This session explores what lies ahead: the challenges, the opportunities, and the strategies organizations can adopt to stay ahead in a rapidly changing landscape. Join us as we reflect on global (both EU and US) shifts, share insights, and explore new ways for value creation through ESG.

ESG professionals today face a clear choice: adapt or risk falling behind. Organizations face the challenge of redefining their ESG approach to remain relevant, credible, and value-driven in a changing landscape.

This workshop gives you the tools to:

• Understand what’s changing in ESG - globally, politically, and regulatorily
• Discover how to turn ESG into a driver of value, not just a compliance exercise
• Learn from real-life cases and peers
• Leave with clear, actionable insights you can apply immediately

Expect an interactive, practical session designed to help you confidently navigate what’s next.

Learning goals
After this Workshop, you will be able to:

• Apply best practices gained through peer insights
• Understand the latest changes in voluntary and regulatory ESG reporting expectations
• Navigate the evolving ESG landscape with greater confidence
• Describe how ESG can be leveraged from a value creation perspective
