external EVENT | IN-PERSON | Brussels
About the event:
Beginning in June 2025, the Centre for Responsible Business (CRB), in partnership with leading European and Indian businesses and industry stakeholders (amfori, Tata Consulting Services – Europe and CSR Europe), co-hosted two rounds of dialogues between EU and Indian businesses and stakeholders on the need and opportunity for partnership on sustainable business parleys. These discussions have been timely and well received by stakeholders on both sides, especially in anticipation of the announcements made in January 2026 in New Delhi. At both dialogues (June 2025 and January 2026), experts from both sides asserted the need for greater visibility and awareness of opportunities that are likely to emerge from pursuing collaborative sustainability initiatives aligned with the priorities of the EU-India Strategic Agenda.
Following up on the two earlier dialogues, CRB is interested in co-hosting a third round of this dialogue on 15th or 16th June 2026 in Brussels, in collaboration with like-minded partner organisations – both in Brussels and New Delhi (under the aegis of the EU–India Sustainable Business Forum).
Discussion Points:
Create awareness of specific areas of the EU - India Strategic Agenda (Towards 2030).
Assess existing experiences of collaboration between EU and India businesses and relate stakeholders across specific areas of the EU - India Strategic Agenda.
