A high-level Summit in Mechelen, Belgium to shape the future of sustainability, competitiveness, and smarter EU regulation.
Under the theme “Turning Sustainability into a Business Advantage”, the Summit will gather over 200 Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs), corporate leaders, EU policymakers, and civil society organisations to explore how sustainability can drive long-term business growth, innovation, and competitiveness.
As European industries face mounting regulatory and economic pressures, the Summit offers a timely platform to rethink ESG strategies, not as compliance tools, but as drivers of resilience and performance. Key topics will include smarter EU regulation, market-based incentives, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate a just and green transition.
A major milestone at the Summit will be the release of the CSO Network’s Discussion Paper on Better Regulation and Implementation, based on direct consultations with sustainability leaders across Europe. This new publication builds on the Business Vision and Actionable Recommendations report and presents practical strategies to strengthen EU regulatory frameworks and accelerate implementation.
