Key Themes for 2020

Our aim for #RBSNY is to build a platform where senior practitioners from across the US meet and share practical ideas on how their businesses can lead the decade of action. There is no fluff, just actionable insights and honest, frank and open discussions on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

What sets Ethical Corporation flagship summits apart?

We’re doing things differently and we really want to move businesses towards the genuine impact you are looking for. The #RBSNY agenda will help you deliver new ways of collaborating, new forms of investments and new business models. Through our independently researched agenda design for systematic change, reconfiguring relationships and systems towards sustainable outcomes and goals.

There’s no corporate fluff in our agenda, just practical, deep-dive examples to show how businesses can transition to a more responsible and sustainable business strategy

1. Multiple tracks / Multiple disciplines: In 2020 we have created dedicated tracks and sessions that address how organizations are driving the responsible business agenda. We will bring together experts from sustainability, communications, and procurement departments as well as investors, NGOs, Governmental bodies and academics to share how they’re addressing the key issues and opportunities that lie ahead
2. The most innovative, exciting brands in attendance: #RBSNY will give you the most senior networking opportunity possible. We lead our conferences with the latest ideas and case studies out there, and take pride in our in-depth research to pinpoint the brands that are doing the most impactful work to share their learnings.
3. Practical learnings: We’re not afraid to talk about what doesn’t work as much as what does! Our sessions are practical with live polling and interactive questions. We guarantee you'll walk away with new ideas and contacts to help improve your strategy for 2020 and beyond.
