To get to the crux of an issue requires honest, frank and open discussion. At RBSEU we will host 2-hour workshops on key topics, including:
There is no question that capitalism as we know it is dead.
CEOs have no choice but to have both a shareholder return & a stakeholder return—managing and measuring both.
Across the two days we’ll be hosting sessions and interactive ‘meet and speak’ opportunities where corporates, investors and others can share their ideas and challenges.
Only through open and constructive dialogue will we accelerate the required transformation.
Discover the most innovative start ups and entrepreneurs disrupting everything from social impact, the circular economy, climate action and more. 15 minute disrupter pitches across both afternoons with opportunities for investment and collaboration to create more impact.
We understand that the best connections are sometimes made away from the conference space.
That’s why in 2020 we will be using a new and improved networking app for attendees to meet their fellow peers and have those quality connections and discussions.
Renowned as the meeting place delivering solutions for sustainability professionals, where they meet to learn, network and do business.
750+ leaders from across the globe will convene, in London in May, at the world’s leading sustainability conference #RBSEU to tackle core challenges with world-class experts, hear about circular strategies and the latest disruptive technologies, and to collaborate, forming partnerships with new and existing suppliers.
